Preface. 



In the preparation of this Catalogue great difficulty was met with in obtain- 
ing the requisite material, and such imperfections as occur are due to causes 
beyond the control of the compiler and not to want of effort on his part. Ina- 
bility to find persons having the desired information in some cases, and 
unwillingness or neglect to reply to inquiries on the part of persons addressed in 
others, are the chief reasons for any failures that may exist. 

The compiler takes this occasion to thank those persons who have asisted 
him in the work, and especially Dr. L. B. Todd, of Lexington, and Mrs. G. H. 
Rout, of Versailles, without whose assistance even the present attempt would 
have failed of realization. 

Any information in regard to " missing links," or any correction of mistakes 
will be thankfully received and acknowledged if sent to the Librarian of the 
College. 

Danville, Ky., June 1, 1890. 






Sketch of the College. 



Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky in 1819. 
Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, D. D., first President, went into office in 1823. In 
1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an arrangement with the Presbyterian 
Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act of the Legislature, modifying its charter,, 
so as to secue to the Synod, on its payment of $20,000 to the funds of the Insti- 
tution, the right of appointing the Board of Trustees. This condition having 
been completely fulfilled on the part of the Synod in 1830, since that period all 
the members of the Board have been appointed by that Synod, as their terms 
of office, from time to time, have expired. One-third of the Board are appointed 
each year. 

Dr. Chamberlain resigned his office in 1826, and the Rev. Gideon Black- 
burn, D. D., succeeded him in 1828, the office having, in the meantime, been, 
temporarily filled by the Rev. David C. Proctor. On the resignation of Dr. 
Blackburn in 1830, Rev. John C. Young, D. D., was elected. Dr. Young died 
in office June 23, 1857, and on the 6th of August following. Rev. L. W. Green, 
D. D., was elected his successor, and entered upon his duties January 1, 1858. 
Dr. Green died in office May 26, 1863, and on the 16th of October following. 
Rev. William L. Breckinridge, D. D., was elected President. He accepted the 
29th of the same month, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office. 
These he continued to discharge until his resignation, Avhich occurred October 
16, 1868. Prof. 0. Beatty, LL. D., at that time Vice-President, was requested to 
discharge the duties of President until a successor to Dr. Breckinridge should 
be appointed. He continued to act in this capacity until the Board of Trustees 
elected him President, September 1, 1870. But by the laws of the Institution 
a permanent instructor could not be appointed by less than a two-thirds vote 
of the entire Board ; and less than this number were present at the meeting at 
which he was elected President. His election was unanimously confirmed on 
June 24, 1873. He had been discharging the duties of his office since the resig- 
nation of his predecessor. Dr. Beatty tendered his resignation of the office of 
President to the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in Danville, June 15, 
1886. But as the Board failed to secure a successor at this meeting, it requested 
Dr. B. to withdraw his resignation for the time. The tehder was renewed to 
the Board, which met, at the call of the Chairman, in Lexington, November 30,. 
1886, and was accepted, " to take effect upon the qualification of his successor."' 



4 ,SKETc;ir of the college. 

Unsuccessful efforts were made to secure a President, until Rev. W. C. Young, 
D. D., the son of the distinguished former President, Dr. John C. Young, was 
unanimously elected, June 19, 1888, and Dr. B. was formally released from his 
official duties. Dr. Young promptly accepted the ofRce, and entered upon his 
duties at the opening of the next term, September 5, 1888. 

Centre College is thus shown to be one of the oldest institutions of learn- 
ing in Kentucky, or in the South or West, having sent out its first graduating 
class in 1824. It has been prosecuting its work successfully, and without inter- 
ruption, from that day to this. Not a year has passed that it has not sent its 
graduates into the field. The last Triennial Catalogue shows the entire number 
of its Alumni to the present time to be nearly 1,000. Among these are more 
than 300 lawyers, nearly 200 ministers of the Gospel, and 80 physicians, and 
the remainder are found in various professions and callings. Among the 
Alumni are many, both of the living and the dead, who have greatly distin- 
guished themselves in their respective professions, and have attained the 
highest positions of honor and trust, especially throughout the South and 
West, where they chiefly reside, or where they did reside while they lived. 

Centre College has educated 19 College Presidents, 41 College Professois, 14 
Representatives in Congress, 4 United States Senators, 5 Governors of States, 1 
Vice-President of the United States, 1 Justice of the United States Supreme 
Court, 24 Circuit Judges, State and National, 37 Editors, etc. No institution in 
Kentucky sends out year by year a larger class of graduates. 



m MEMORIAM. 



JEREMIAH CHAMBERLAIN, D, D. 



Dr. Chamberlain was born in Adams county, Pa., January 5, 179i. He 
received a liberal education, graduating at Dickinson College, Pa., in 1814. 
After a three-year course at Princeton he was licensed to preach in 1817. He 
went South as a missionary this year, and the next accepted a call to the 
church at Bedford, Pa. 

In 1822 he accepted the Presidency of this College, and come to Danville 
with an enthusiasm which soon put it on a firm basis. While here he preached 
regularly, and a powerful revival in religion took place. 

in the winter of 1824-25 he resigned and went to Louisiana to become 
President of Jackson College. This office he gave up in 1828, and started a 
private school in the same place. In 1830 he was elected President of Oakland 
College, Mississippi, established through his influence. 

The great work of his life may be said to have been the foundation of Oak- 
land College, to which he devoted an untiring energy. On the fifth day of 
September, 1850, he died by the hand of an assassin. 

Dr. Chamberlain was a man of marked ability ; of strong intellectual power ; 
of great public spirit. The main aim of his preaching was to present the great 
cardinal truth that " Christ is all in all." 

As a presiding officer over the church courts and as the head of the college 
he showed fine executive capacity and excellent judgment in the many diffi- 
cult cases that called for firmness and decision. 



IN" MEMORIAM. 



GIDEON BLACKBURN, D. D. 

The birth of Dr. Blackburn occurred in Augusta county, Va., August 27, 
1772. His literarj- tutor was Samuel Doak, E>. D., while he received his theo- 
logical training under Dr. Robert Henderson. 

In 1792 he was licensed to preach bj- Abingdon Presbj'tery, and soon after 
established the church at Maysville, and also took charge of one at Eusebia. 
His labors were not confined to these congregations, but in the region about he 
succeeded in establishing several new churches. In 1893 he undertook a mis- 
sion to the Cherokees with excellent results. In 1811 he settled in East Ten- 
nessee, and become Princiijal of Harpeth Academy, preaching at the same 
time, with his usual success in organizing several churches. In 1823 he moved 
to Louisville as pastor, and in 1827 became President of Centre College, holding 
the office until 1830. He then removed to Versailles, preaching to the church 
and acting as agent of the Kentucky State Temperance Society. In 1833 he 
went to Illinois, and in 1835 we find him in the East raising money for Illinois 
College, a work which finally resulted in establishing a theological school at 
Carlinsville. He died August 23, 18:58. 

"Dr. Blackburn was much above the ordinary stature. In his manner he 
was easy, gentle, mild, courteous, affable, but always dignified. Not only was 
he eloquent, but a laborious and successful preacher. He made many tours in 
the United States ; his vacations were uniforaily spent in traveling from place 
to place, often preaching night and day, and always followed by weeping, won- 
dering, admiring audiences whenever he went ; and even during the sessions 
of academy and college, often have I known him, mounted on horseback on 
Friday afternoon, to dash ten, twenty, and even thirty miles, preach four or 
five times, administer the communion on Sabbath, and return on Monday morn- 
ing in time to be in his chair in the lecture-room at 9 o'clock."

IX MEMOIUAM. 7 

JOHN C, YOUN& D, D. 

John Clarke Young, D. D., was born in Greeucastle, Pa., August 12, 1803. 
He was the youngest son of Rev. John Young, pastor of the Associate Reformed 
Church of that place, and of Mary Clarke Young, both of Scotch-Irish descent. 
Dr. Young was for three years a student at Columbia College, New York, and 
in 1823 was graduated at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. And having de- 
clined the most temping offers to enter the profession of law, under the auspices 
of his uncle, Matthew St. Clair Clarke, at that time Clerk of the House of Rep- 
resentatives at Washington, and an eminent lawyer and politician, he deter- 
mined to study for the ministr\^ For two years he occupied the position of 
tutor in Princeton College, and in 1824 entered the Theological Seminary there, 
in which he remained four years. While at Princeton he was the intimate 
friend of Drs. Hodge, Dod, and the Alexanders, all of whom were young men 
together. In the spring of 1827 he was licensed to preach; after visiting several 
Eastern cities, where he was strongly urged to make his home, he journeyed 
across the mountains, to what was then considered the West, and came into 
Kentucky. In 1828 was elected and installed pastor of the McChord Pres- 
byterian Church in Lexington. In the fall of 1830 the Presidency of Centi'e 
College became vacant by the resignation of Dr. Blackburn, and Dr. Young, 
then entering his twenty-eighth year, was unanimously elected to that office by 
the Board of Trustees. Although so young, and having been in the state but 
a short time, he had already attained to the first rank as an able and eloquent 
preacher, and a man of varied and elegant acquirements. 

" If your inquiries," says Dr. Archibald Alexander, in answer to a query as 
to Dr. Young's qualifications for the place, "relate to the Presidency of a col- 
lege, there is no man within my acquaintance better qualified for such a situa- 
tion than John C. Young, who is already among you. It is a mistake to look 
out for old men if you can get young men who are qualified ; the first must be 
going down, but the latter will be improving for a long time to come. You 
may depend upon it that Young is a first rate man, of extensive acquirements, 
and of a pleasant but decisive temper." 

For nearly twenty-seven years, and until his death, he amply fulfilled the 
expectation and promise of his early youth. He entered Centre College when 
it was at a low ebb, and left it at his death one of the most prominent institu- 
tions of learning in the South-west. The Presbyterian Church in Danville 
becoming vacant in 183-1, Dr. Young was elected to fill the pulpit. He entered 
upon this double duty as an experiment, and continued its performance with 
unparalleled ability, acceptance and success till his death, over twenty years 
after. In 1839 the degree of D. D^ was conferred on him by the College of New 
Jersey. In 1833 he was elected Moderator of the General Assembly in Phila- 
delphia, and presided over that boily with distinguished success. His ready 
and brilliant elocution was noticeable in the addresses which he made to the 
representatives of corresponding and foreign churches. His death, after a lin- 
gering illness, occurred June 23, 1857. 

As a divine. Dr. Young was able and sound ; as a metaphysician, remarka- 
ble for his discrimnating powers; as a teacher, faithful and successful; as a 
friend, ardent and constant. His loss to the Church and the cause of learning 
was deeply deplored, and his memory is still fondly cherished by all who knew 
him. 



IN MEJIORIAM. 



LEWIS WARNER GREEN. D. D. 

Dr. Green was the son of Willis and Sarah (Reed) Green, both of whom 
come from Virginia to Kentucky, and was born near Danville, January 28, 1806. 

His preparatory studies were pursued under D. F. Robinson, Joshua Fry 
and W. R. Thompson. He entered Transylvania University 1820, but at the 
close of junior year, came to Centre College, which was just organized, and 
graduated in the first class. On leaving college he desired to enter the Gospel 
ministry, but by the solicitation of friends he took up the study of the law 
with his brother, Judge Green. This soon proved distasteful, and he turned 
his attention to medicine. This, too, was given up. It was not God's w'ill that 
he should do other than His work. 

In 1831 he entered the Seminary at Princeton, N. J., having been some 
time previously at Yale studying Hebrew. During this year he was elected 
Professor of Greek in Centre College, which he declined, but the Chair of 
Rhetoric and Political Economy being oflered him the next year, he accepted. 

Mr. Green was licensed to preach October 4, 1833, by the Presbytery of 
Transylvania, and the next summer sailed for Europe for the purpose of study. 
He remained abroad two years, attending lectures at various German univer- 
sities. 

In 1838 he was elected to the Professorship of Oriental and Biblical Litera- 
ture in the new Seminary at Hanover, Ind. The next year he was recalled to 
Danville to take the Vice-Presidency of the College and to become co-pastor 
in the church. Having been offered the Chair of Oriental Literature and Bibli- 
cal Criticism in the Western Theological Seminary, Alleghany, Pa., he accepted, 
and held the position for seven years. 

In 1817 he took charge of the Second Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, 
and the ensuing year became President of Hampden Sidney College, Virginia. 
Here he remained until 1856, when he received the Presidency of the reorgan- 
ized Transylvania University. Dr. Young dying in 1857, Dr. Green was chosen 
to take his place at the head of Centre College. 

In 1827 Mr. Green married Miss Eliza J. Montgomery, of Lincoln county, 
who lived but a short time, and in 1834 he was united to Mrs. Mary Lawrence. 
He died May 6, 1863. 

"Dr. Green was eminent as a scholar, and equally so as a teacher. His 
intellect was vigorous and brilliant. To the business of communicating knowl- 
edge to students, he brought a wonderful knowledge of the human mind, and 
u somewhat unusual power of stimulating the youthful mind to enlarged 
desires after truth. He was a most agreeable companion, the united charms of 
his manner and conversation being unsurpassed. As a preacher he stood in 
the foremost rank, possessing in almost unlimited profusion the inherent qual- 
ities that lie at the basis of successful public speaking."

IX MKMORIAM. 



WILLIAM LEWIS BRECKINRIDGE, D, D, 



Dr. Breckinridge was born near Lexington, Ky., July 22, 1803. In 1831 he 
entered the ministry as pastor of the church at Maysville, Ky. A few years 
after he was called to the Second Presbyterian Church at Baltimore, and at the 
same time was offered the Professorship of Ancient Languages in Centre Col- 
lege, which he accepted. In 1836 he began the pastorate over the First Church of 
Louisville, where he remained for twenty-three years. > From there he went to 
Mississippi as President of Oakland College, and in 1863 was called to the head 
of our college, which he served for five years. He died December 26, 1876, in 
Cass county, Mo. 

Says Dr. E. P. Humphrey: " As a preacher he was instructive, lucid and 
thoroughly evangelical. He had a clear conception, an intelligent and expe- 
rienced knowledge- of the gospel, and expounded the saving truths always with 
great simplicity, and often with an earnestness, a pathos, a persuasive power, 
that brought his hearers into captivity to the obedience of Christ. And then a 
certain propulsive power was imparted to his discourse by his manliness, his 
moral and physical courage, his profound conviction of the truth and glory of 
the gospel, and by the unspotted purity of his life. 

" Few men have been so diligent and useful in pastoral visitations. His 
fine social cjualities, his ready, even spontaneous, sympathy, his sense of pro- 
priety and delicacy made him welcome always to the families of his congrega- 
tion. The sick and the dying and the bereaved turned to him as at once a 
learner and a teacher in the school of Christ, the consoler. His labors as a 
I>astor were the most prominent, and, as he thought, the most fruitful branch 
of his ministry. 

" In the Presbyterian Church at large he was a wise and trusted counsellor. 
He loved the Church ; he consecrated himself, body and spirit, down to the end 
of his days, to its welfare. His brethren throughout the land committed to 
him the most sacred trusts and bestowed upon him the highest honors of the 
profession."

ORMOND BEATTY, LL, D, 

Dr. Ormond Beatty, the fourth son of Judge Adam and Sarah (Green) 
Beatty, was born in Mason county, Ky., August 13, 1815, and died June 24, 
1890. He entered Centre College in 1832, and was graduated in 1835. Previ- 
ous to his graduation he was elected to the Professorship of Natural and Phys- 
ical Science in the College, but before entering upon its duties he spent a year 
at Yale College in special preparation for his work. In 1847 he received the 
degree of A. M. from Centre College, and in 1868 the College of New Jersey 
conferred on him the degree of LL. D. In 1847 he was transferred to the Pro- 
fessorship of Mathematics, but in 1852 was restored to his original chair. In 
1870 he was elected President of the College and Professor of Metaphysics. 
Owing to advancing years and failing health he tendered his resignation in 1886, 
but was prevailed upon by the Board of Trustees to withdraw it till the elec- 
tion of his successor, which took place June 19, 1888, when Rev. W. C. Young, 
D. D., was chosen. The Board then elected him Professor of Metaphysics. 

In 1886 Dr. Beatty completed the fiftieth year of his service as Professor 
and President To signalize this event tlie Alumni contributed f 1,000 to found 
the Ormond Beatty Senior Prize. 

In 183) Dr. Beatty united with the Presbyterian Church, and in 18 U was 
elected an elder. He was a commissioner to the General Assembly in 1855, 
1866 and 1867. He was a delegate to the First General Council of the Presby- 
terian Alliance in Edinburgh in 1877, and also to the second meeting of that 
body in Philadelphia in 1880. 

Dr. Beatty was married three times: first to Miss Sallie Lewis Rochester, 
who left him one son, Charles R. Of his second marriage, to Miss Ann Bell, a 
daughter was born, now Mrs. Pattie Quisenberry. His last marriage was to 
Mrs. Elizabeth 0. Boyle, v/hom he survived five years. 

Dr. Beatty was a man of gr^^at natural ability and a scholar of profound 
and varied culture. A symmetrical, well-poised character, a mind singularly 
logical and practical, an equable temper, self-sacrificing devotion to duty, deep 
piety, unstinted benefi euce, rare unselfishness, a diffidence and humility that 
prevented the full recognition of his transcen lent merits by the world at large — ■ 
all these were characteristics of this great and good man. 

" Of manners gentle, of affections mild, 
In wit a man, simplicity a child." 

His judicial habit of thought, extensive knowledge, and unrivaled powers 
as a debater gave liim great influence in educational and ecclesiastical counsels. 
As a teacher he was distinguished for lucid thought, felicitous language, apt 
illustration, and dialectic skill, and was greatly venerated and beloved by his 
pupils. To his colleagues of the Faculty he was the wise and revered counselor, 
the sympathetic and considerate friend. He was a living illustration of " what- 
soever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are 
just, whatsoever, things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever 
things are of good report."

Secretary of State by Gov. Crittenden ; in 1859 he made a most spirited

medicine from Dr. Goldsmith. In 1831 he entered the medical depart- 
ment of Transylvania University, gi-aduating in 18o3. Making surgery a

self a most skilful surgeon, who chose him to be demonstrator of anat- 
omy, and in 1839 he was appointed to the Professorship of Anatomy and 
Surgery in the University. 

" In 1850 Dr. Bush and some associate professors went to Louisville and 
assisted in the establishment of the Kentucky School of Medicine, now 
in existence, lecturing at Transylvania in the summer and at Louisville 
in the winter. They resigned the Louis \^ille professorships after three 
years and returned to Transylvania, remaining there until just before the 
commencement of the war of 1861. During all this time Dr. Bush gave 
undivided attention to the practice of medicine and surgery, for his was 
a temperament so full of vital energy and dislike of repose that he found 
most rest in most work. During the cholera of 1831-32 in Louisville he 
devoted himself largely to the cause of suffering, and afterward in Lex- 
ington in 1833."— [Dr. L. B. Todd. 

Dr. Bush married Miss James, of Chillicothe, Ohio, in whom he found a 
worthy companion. He died February 8, 1875, at his home in Lexington. 
The physicians of Lexington and vicinity, the City Council, the North- 
ern Bank of Kentucky, of which he was a directoi', and the Pharmaceu- 
tical Association passed resolutions of respect to his memory. 

'' He certainly never did a mean thing, and I doubt whether an ignoble 
thought ever found lodgment in his mind. * ••• The public estimate of 
him as a man and physician was unusually high. Few physicians have 
ever enjoyed so large a share of personal and professional confidence." — 
[Dr. Lewis Rogers.

Richard C. ("X.") White. 

Son of Clairborne and Susan "White. 

Born in Manchester, Claj' county, Ky., November 29, 1821. On graduating 
he located in Richmond, where as a lawyer and banker he spent a long 
and useful life, dying April 28, 1890. On account of trouble about his 
mail, Mr. White substituted X for C in his name. 

IMr. White was married to Miss Pattie A. Sneed, of Woodford county, in 
1814, who survives her husband. 

Says the Richmond Register : " Thus we have more than sixty-eight years 
of life and every duty met — as citizen, husband, son and father his 
record is exemjilary. He was honest. He was firm in his convictions 
and brave in asserting them. He was kind, gentle and always courteous. 
He was not only highly esteemed for his many noble qualities, but hun- 
dreds who knew him intimately loved him as few men are loved, and the 
universal expressions of regret are not empty, formal words of praise, 
but the spontaneous outbursts of sympathetic and grieved hearts." 

Hexry C. Wood. 

Son of George T. and Elizabeth (Helm) Wood. The father was a resident 
of Munfordville, Ky., having emigrated from Albemarle county. Ya. 
The mother was a native of Hart county, Ky.

the schools of- his native village. After graduating he pursued the study

his parents. His widow, two sons and a daughter are now living in 
Louisville, Ky. 

" Judge Wood had the very highest appreciation of the duties and respon- 
sibilities of a lawyer, a legal adviser and a judge. He fully appreciated 
the force of the old maxim that ' The seat of justice is in the Throne of 
God.' On this sentiment were based the ruling and guiding principles 
of his professional career, whether as a lawyer, an advocate or a judge. 
He loved and honored his profession with an .ardor and intensity that 
colder and more sordid natures could not appreciate. With him a sense 
of duty ever overrode the sense of personal advantage or personal pre- 
ferment."

Mr. Jackson at first was inclined to the law as a profession, but before 
taking any decisive steps the claims of the Christian ministry were 
brought to his notice in such a way that he determined to devote his life 
to the service of Christ. Entered the Associate Theological Seminary at 
Cannonsburg, Pa., 1850. Licensed in 1852, and December, 1853, took 
charge of the TJ. P. Church of Greenville, Pa. Was ordained and in- 
stalled February 4, 1854, as pastor. Here he remained seven and a half 
years laboring acceptably, and, at the close of his labors, having the 
pleasure of knowing that besides the increased membership of his own 
church, two other congregations had sprung up under his care. 

In 1861 the General Assembly, deeming it advisable to send some one to 
Chicago, 111., called on Mr. Jackson, who finally consented. During the 
time he remained the church increased from twenty-five members to one 
hundred and twenty-five, and two additional congregations were formed, 
largely from persons sent out from his church. In addition to this work 
he labored among the prisoners at Camp Douglas as spiritual adviser. In 
this he took great pleasure, as among them were many he had known in 
his student days. 

In 1868 he went to the Fourth U. P. Church in Philadelphia. This church

hundred were added to the church, and a new and commodious building 
finished in November, 1877.

Mr. Jackson was often called upon to lecture before lyceums and societies ; 
was a frequent contributor to the religious press, and was editor for some 
time of the " Youth's Evangelist." 

" In his pastoral and public character Mr. Jackson was also marked. In 
the kindness of his heart and manner the poor, the tempted and the 
troubled felt always drawn to him, so that he literally bore the burden of 
many. * * * In his clear and practical views of things he was a use- 
ful adviser, a good member of allchurch courts and of the Board of Foreign 
Missions and Ministerial Relief, to which he severally belonged.' — [D.

the gospel at Lancaster. His next charge was at Somerset. In Novem- 
ber, 1887, he was called to Paris, and had barely entered on his work

DANVILLE : 

KENTUCKY ADVOCATE STEAM PEIXT: 
1889. 



The exercises connected with the inaugni-ation of Rev. William C. Young, 
D. D., as President of Centre College, were held in the Second Presbyterian 
Church of Danville, Ky., October 9, 1889, in presence of the Synod of Ken- 
tucky and the Alumni Association of the College. 

After the delivery of Dr. Young's inaugural address, the Alumni and 
invited guests proceeded to the College building and partook of a banquet given 
by the resident Alumni of Boyle county. 



ADDRKSS 

OF 



Rev. W. S. KULTON, 

Moderator of the Synod of Kentucky. 



As the representative of the Synod that controls Centre College, and that 
looks upon it as one of its chief instruments for honoring Christ and doing 
good to men, it will, I suppose, be exi^ected that the few words I say on this 
occasion be upon the relation of our church to the cause of education. 

We have never believed that "ignorance is the mother of devotion," but 
we have written it down in our form of government Ihat "truth is in order to 
goodness." And so, since the beginning of our history, Presbyterians have built 
the school-house by the church and put their ablest ministers to teach in it. The 
fathers of our church in Kentucky had scarcely made a little clearing in the 
woods and cane-brake for their own homes, and had scarcely erected the stand- 
ard of the cross in their primitive churches, when they began to look about for 
a place in which to build a college ; and they had hardly driven the Indians 
from their settlements when they were sending their boys to the academy that 
Dr. Rice and his associates had founded. From the beginning the Presbyte- 
rian Church in Kentucky has believed in Christian education; and we believe 
in it yet; and Centre College is one of the works that this faith has produced, 
and the calling of one of the ablest ministers of our Synod to leave his pastor- 
ate to assume the Presidency ©f the institution is witness to our continued faith 
in the value to both Church and State of a Christian College. 

It is not the desire of the Synod to have this college narrowly sectarian, 
but it is its desire to have it distinctly Christian. We wish it to be not an 
institution in which mere fractions of men are made, but one in which the 
whole man goes to school, and is educated. We would have it encourage and 
aesist in the training of the physical side of man's nature, and we would have 
our boys as they come on the platform at commencement day show in their 
faces the color of health, and in their figures the results of muscular develop- 
ment. We would have this College also a gymnasium for the mind, and we 
wish its professors to do their best to send out men who will be mentally both 
active and strong ; but we also very earnestly desire Centre College to be in all 
its history an institution that educates the moral and religious nature of its 
students. We hope that, by the blessing of God resting on the instruction of 



4 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

Christian President and Professors, the students of this College shall always be 
men who love righteousness and hate iniquity, men who will be a blessing and 
not a curse to their fellows. The college was founded as a Christian institution. 
It has been such in the history of the past, and we expect it to be such in the 
futoare. When, therefore, the student is here taught the mysteries of nature, 
he will also be taught to "look through nature up to nature's God." Astron- 
omy, as here taught, will only make him see more clearly how " the heavens 
declare the glory of God," and how " the firmament showeth his handiwork." 
Geology will remind him of Him "who laid the foundations of the earth." 
Zoology and Botany will make him say with fuller understanding of its truth, 
" O Lord, how manifold are thy works ; in wisdom hast thou made them all ; 
the earth is full of thy riches." And here, as he learns more of the wonders 
of Chemistry, will the student be led to feel how deep are the thoughts of the 
Lord. Here, in short, natural science will be wedded to true religion, and 
within these halls of learning the inspiration of Moses will be as much regarded 
as the speculations of the latest writer in the scientific reviews. Here the stu- 
dent will be shown, as he goes over the events of past ages, the hand of God in 
history, and here in all the recitation rooms we expect the Christian way c* 
looking at truth to prevail. 

The record of the College has been good in the past, and we face the future 
to-day with hope of a record that will be better still. With an increased en- 
dowment, with multiplied facilities for imparting instruction, with a greater 
interest in the College among our churches, with new friends appearing in the 
East as well as in the South, with a growing number of students and a Presi- 
dent abundantly able to succeed the noble men who have preceded him, we 
believe that there is reason to look for a future for our College that will be bet- 
ter than the best days of the past. 

With these few remarks, I now introduce the President of the Board of 
Trustees, who will address you and preside during the further exercises of this 
bour. 



ADDRESS 

OF 

Rev. J. jMcCIvUSKY BIvAYNEY, D. D., 

Chairman of the Board of Trustees. 



Self-constituted apostles have been traveling up and down the land denounc- 
ing the Bible as a bundle of the superstitions of the past, and decrying its 
religion as an obstacle in the way of the advancement of man. Is it true that 
Christianity has never done anything for the progress of the world but stand in 
the way ? On the contrary, I affirm that the one universal element present in 
all the various forms of human elevation, which has done more than any other 
one thing to make the world what it is now, and giving promise of what it shall 
be in the future, has been the religion of that much-abused book which we call God's 
Revelation to man. And the lessons of the past teach us of the present to hold 
Christianity harnessed to the wheels of the world's progress. This is what the 
Synod of Kentucky is trying to do in the matter of human learning. 

Guizot has reduced the fundamental elements of civilization to three — " the 
Roman world, the Christian world, and the Germanic world." Now it is very 
easy for us to test the relative potency of these elements of civilization. The 
old Roman world went to pieces before the barbarism of the Germanic world. 
Christianity took hold upon these northern hordes, lifted them up, Christianized 
them, and led them on to the splendid civilization of the Anglo-Saxon race of 
to-day. It conquered the conqueror, and so pi'oved itself to be the dominant 
l^ower of civilization of the past. Hume tells us that no event tended so much 
to the impi'ovement of the age as the discovery of the Justinian Pandects in 
Italy in the year 1130; that within ten years of its discovery a bishop was lec- 
turing on it in the University of Oxford ; that the ecclesiastics everywhere 
favored this system of jurisprudence, and by their example and exhortations 
spread the knowledge of it throughout Europe. According to this enemy of 
Christianity, therefore, the most effective agency of the civilization of the 
twelfth century was spread over Europe by the influence of the Church. Not 
only so, but Christianity eliminated the barbaric elements from that old Roman 
code of laws, and has gone on ever since modifying the jurisprudence of the 
woi-ld, till it may be affirmed as almost literally true that the ten command- 
ments of Moses have become the basis of the legislation of all civilized lands. 

Christianity has led the world in educational efforts. When all those great 



6 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

civil schools of the Roman Empire had perished, it was the Church that 
addressed itself to the task of the spread of knowledge, and early laid the found- 
ations of well nigh all those great institutions which still continue to difTuse 
light and learning throughout Europe. Charlemagne is recognized in history 
as the intellectual regenerator of France. But it is not so much the great Empe- 
ror, as the man who has been called his intellectual prime minister, whose 
impress we see in the educational institutions of that country. It is the hand 
of Bishop Alcuin, President of the "School of the Palace," we see in that ordi- 
nance among the Capitularies of Charlemagne urging, for the sake of the Church, 
the cultivation of letters and enjoining on the bishops the study of the liberal 
arts. The history of the University of Oxford, England, runs back to the early 
part of the twelfth century, when Robert CuUen, a theologian of eminence, 
began delivering lectures on the Bible, and before the close of the century 
Oxford is described as a place " where the clergy in England chiefly flourished 
and excelled in clerkly lore." Cambridge owes its origin to the educational 
work begun in that town by the canons of the church of St. Giles. Coming to 
our own country, the spirit that founded the first college is still proclaimed in 
Harvard's motto — Christo et Ecdesiie. And that same motto might approjariately 
be inscribed on the escutcheon of nine-tenths of the institutions of higher 
learning scattered over our land to-day. Popular education had its origin in 
the benevolent enterprise of the Church. After the third century, wherever a 
church was planted, there a school was established. The third council of the 
Lateran decreed that " the Church of God, as a pious mother, is bound to pro- 
vide that the opportunity of learning shall not be withdrawn from the poor." 
And where are we to look for the origin of State education? What is the 
immortal name which must for ever be coupled with the origination of the sys- 
tem of free schools? Martin Luther! In 1526 he wrote to the Elector of 
Saxony urging that Government has a right to compel the people to support 
schools. About the same time he addressed a communication to the common 
councils of all tke cities of Germany in behalf of Christian schools, and entreated 
them, in the name of God, to use some of the vast sums spent in war to pro. 
vide schools for the poor. And through his agitation of the subject a school 
law was adopted in Wertemberg, Saxony, Hesse, and Brandenberg, providing 
for the classification, inspection, and support of public schools on substantially 
the same plan which has since come to prevail throughout the civihzed world. 
In the midnight of the world's past night it was the Church that held aloft the 
light of human learning. 

In the embellishments of civilization, Christianity has been the world's 
pioneer, blazing out the way. According to a Grecian legend, a young girl was 
the first artist. Perceiving the profile of her lover cast in shadow on the wall, 
she afterwards undertook from memory to fix its lineaments permanently there. 
The beautiful fiction is not far from fact with reference to modern painting. As 
a living art it began in the catacombs to which the early Christians were driven 
by persecution, and there they passed their time and encouraged their hearts 
by picturing upon the w^alls scenes which symbolized their cherished faith. 
And for centuries painting continued to be but little more than the reflection

from canvass of pictures furnished by Revelation. Who can estimate the influ- 
ence on the world of art of Angelo's sublime circle in the Sistine Chapel, and 
those wondrous scenes in bronze of Andrea Pisano on the doors of the Baptistrj' 
at Florence, which Angelo pronounced "worthy to be called the gates of Para- 
dise?" These and such like master j^roductions of Christian art are still furnish- 
ing inspiration to the generations of artists. Those noble edifices, reared in 
almost every city of the old 'world for the worship of God, have been, and are 
now, the instructors of the architects of the world, so that no man can pretend 
to the name who has not looked upon, and wondered at, and studied in some 
way these marvelous structures, some of which have been centuries in build- 
ing. In the field of music it is to the early Christians we are indebted for the 
preservation of all we know of ancient practical music. It was Ambrose, a son 
of the Church, who, in the fourth century, gave to music a fixed constitution. 
It is to a Benedictine monk the world is indebted for the musical scale. The 
oratorio owes its invention to a pious monk, who endeavored thus to draw the 
people away from the theaters of the day. It was the Church that trained Italy 
to the art of song, and Italy trained the world. Speak we of philanthropy ? It 
is but the spirit of Christianity abroad in its mission of sympathy and healing. 
And as a moral and spiritual force in the elevation of man, by the confessions of 
her bitterest foes, Christianity has no fellow. I have read of a dying Indian 
chief who commanded a wooden cross to be made, and then ordered his attend- 
ants to place him upon it, and as he lay there, stretched on that sacred symbol 
he exclaimed: " It is lifting me, lifting me." The hallucination of the dying 
chieftain has been a living fact in the experience of mankind. Since God's Son 
died on it, the cross has been beneath the race, lifting it, lifting it physically, 
lifting it mentally, lifting it morally, lifting it spiritually, lifting multitudes from 
the degradation and misery of sin and ignorance here to the light and joys of 
the heavenly existence forever. No, it is not true that the forces of Christianity 
have been the army of opposition in the world's progress, always fighting Mith 
their faces to the past. 

In view of such facts from the history of the past going to show the impor- 
tance of Christianity as a factor in the elevation of man, the Synod of Ken- 
tucky owes no apology for wishing to maintain and build up here an institution 
of higher education, which shall be enveloped and permeated bj' the atmos- 
phere of the Christian religion. We have no fear of the much-talked of conflict 
between religion and learning. There never can be a conflict between the Bible 
and nature. They are twin revelations of one and the same great God. Truth 
is truth, whether written on the pages of God's book or on the works of God's 
hand. The Presbyterian Church is not afraid of the developments of Science. 
It holds itself in readiness to accept every demonstrated fact of Science now 
and at any future time, and undertakes to reconcile them with the Bible, as we 
believe it is the truth of God- We will, if we can, build up here an institution 
that will rank among the very foremost for fearless investigation. We will, if 
we can, send forth generations of young men, equipped to lead on the bands of 
the most heroic explorers into the profoundest secrets of the remotest recesses 
of the universe. Only we will send them forth i^anoplied with the truths of 



O INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

Christianity, and taught to bring all the trophies of their researches and lay 
them reverently at the feet of their Maker and Redeemer. We will have them 
keep the banner of the cross to the front of all the onward movements of the 
future as it has been in the past. This is the high ideal of the institution the 
Synod af Kentucky would build up here. But, while Centre College is, and is 
to be, a Presbyterian institution, I would have all the world know that it is to 
be dominated by no narrow, sectarian policy. The control of the institution is 
vested in the Church as a guaranty that it shall continue to be Christian, but 
denominational instruction has no place in the curriculum of this college. We 
will, if we can, return the sons of sister churches to their homes with their 
parental beliefs untouched, but with a broad, manly, mental. Christian culture. 

To you, sir, whom we to-day formally invest with the management of this 
institution, I have only to say, as Chairman of the Board, that it will be a cause 
oi highest gratiiication if you succeed in pushing this College further on in the 
direction of the high ideal I have indicated. I think we may congratulate 
ourselves on the fact that we have secured for this responsible and arduous 
work one so closely identified with this institution and this State. It is your 
own Alma Mater to which you are now to give the best energies of your life. 
It is in an important sense your own father's monument upon which you are 
to build. It is your own native State that will be enriched and honored by 
your success. The blood of two historic Kentucky families flows in your veins. 
The name of J. J. Crittenden, your honored grandfather, is not more familiar in 
the political world than the name of John C. Young, your revered father, in 
the ecclesiastical and edufcational worlds. It would be too much to expect that 
the embellishments of two such men should adorn any one mortal, but I per- 
mit myself to believe that you are the heir of some of the characteristics of each 
of these great men, which peculiarly fit you for the work you now undertake, 
and promise well for your success. It will be especially gratifying to the Board if 
you succeed in developing here that peculiarly Christian atmosphere which the 
traditions tell us was one of the chief characteristics of the administration of 
your father. 

And just here may I be indulged in a practical suggestion? It is that, that 
fallen hero of truth and learning deserves a more living monument than the 
column of dead marble that bears his name in yonder cemetery. A lasting 
debt of gratitude rests upon the graduates and friends of this institution calling 
for the completion of the endowment of the John C. Young Professorship, that 
the name of the man, who more than any other lifted this College to the hon- 
orable position it has long maintained, may for all time be perpetuated in 
connection with his life work. I would lay it upon the conscience and grati- 
tude of the Alumni Association to inaugurate practical and effective measures 
to accomplish this pious, almost filial, task. 

And now, sir, I put into your hands the keys of Centre College as the em- 
blem of the authority with which we this day invest you. May your career 
here be long, useful, and happy, and may the measure of your success never be 
shorter than that of the noble men, living and dead, who have been your pre- 
decessors in this high office. 



IMAUQURAIv ADDRESS 

OF 

Rev. W. C. YOUNG, D. D, 



Brethren of the Syjiod of Kentucky, Members of the Board of Trustees, Alumni and 
Old Students of Centre College, Ladies and Gentlemen : 

I must needs be more or less than mortal if, standing here this morning 
amid such surroundings to perform my allotted part in these impressive exer- 
cises, heart and brain were not stirred and thrilled by sentiments, thoughts and 
memories of an unusual and extraordinary character. Second only to parental 
influence, and closely connected with it, the Centre College of Kentucky, in 
whose interests this large, representative assembly has been gathered and into 
the Presidency of which I have just been formally inducted, has been the most 
potent factor in forming and directing my life and character. My father wa& 
its President for twenty-seven years. During this entire period he gave to it 
unsparingly, enthusiastically — with what marked success history records — the 
very best of mind and heart with which God had endowed him. 

About midway in his long term of service, within the shadow of the old 
college building, I was born, and there the first fifteen years of my life were 
passed. Through the whole of this most impressible season the life of the Insti- 
tution, in all its varied elements and phases, its teachers, students, class-room 
exercises, its buildings, sports and campus, constituted the daily environment 
in which those early years were spent. These intimate associations, this happy 
period- of childhood and early youth, were abruptly and sadly ended by my 
father's death and the consequent removal from the old home. So far, how- 
ever, from al:>ating, these eventful changes tended only to increase my interest 
in and love for the college henceforth hallowed and endeared anew by being,, 
as it were, the altar upon which his life had been laid. 

The new home, while farther away, was yet in close proximity to the col- 
lege; and there for eight years more, through college and seminary courses, 
until full manhood was attained, breathing the stimulating literary atmosphere- 
generated by such an institution, in daily intimate communion and fellowship- 
with its teachers and students, I lived. 

During all the years which have passed since then, frequent communica- 
tions from, at least one annual visit to the old Danville home, have served to- 
create new, to make, if possible, warmer, stronger, more vital the old bonds of 



10 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

love, gratitude and devotion which bind me to Centre College. Four of its six 
Presidents, more than a score of its Professors, I have been i)rivileged to call my 
friends. From among its students the most valued and lasting attachments of 
my life have been formed. To association with, to the instruction imparted by 
these, I am in large measure indebted for whatever in this world I have been 
enabled to accomplish. In view of all this I can not surely be charged with 
egotism or vanity when I say that, entering upon the responsible and arduous 
work so nobly prosecuted by the illustrious men who have preceded me, I 
claim equally with the ablest among them at least that element of fitness and 
preparation which is formed in fervent afi'ection, gratitude and consecration to 
the cause we serve. 

Do these remarks seem over personal ? Do they appear to trench upon the 
borders of delicacy and good taste ? An apology, or rather an explanation, is 
furnished by the old proverb, "Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth, 
will speak." 

Apart, however, from this, what I have said, personal though it may seem, 
is thus far, at least, directly apposite and pertinent to the occasion, in that the 
•circumstances and relations which have led me thus to speak have also deter- 
mined the subject of my address to-day. 

While anxiously pondering that most vexed of questions connected with 
all speech-making, where the subject has not been definitely assigned, "what 
theme shall I discuss ?" again and again a voice proceeding, as it were, from 
some other self has seemed to say : "Why not talk about the College itself? 
It has had a long, illustrious life; it has done a grand, beneficent work. A 
plain, simple story of its achievements in the past constitutes at once its best 
augury of its strongest claim for a prosperous and glorious future. You per- 
sonally are its debtor, beyond the possibility of payment. Why not make it 
the subject of your speech?" 

To all this, in thought at least, I have answered: " The theme is an old, 
old one. It has been, in the press and on the platform, presented over and 
over again. An inaugural address seems to call for something more scholastic, 
philosophic and impressive." 

Regardless of these strong objections my petitioner, with the iteration and 
reiteration of the fabled raven, persistently urged his plea, until, like the un- 
just judge in the parable, wearied out at length with his pressing importunity, 
I yielded to his solicitations, and so I am here this morning assuming the two- 
fold role of historian and prophet, or rather of annalist and projector, to talk to 
you in simple, unadorned language about Centre Cellege, its past and future. 
In delineating a life, embracing within itself hundreds, yea, thousands of other 
lives, and extending through more than a century, of course only the barest 
outline sketch can be attempted. In drawing this sketch we have freely 
availed ourselves of the labors and researches of those who have preceded us, 
using at times the very words. 

Claiming no mathematical accuracy, but studying simplicity and clearness 
of treatment, the past of Centre College may be contemj^lated as divided into 
three periods. 



INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 11 

Fii'st — 1780-1830, fifty years, the period of preparation and planting. 

Second — 1830-1862, twenty-two years, the jieriod of enlargement and 
progress. 

Third — 1862-1889, twenty-seven years, the period of consolidation and 
conservation. 

I. Xow as to the first of these periods. It began far back in the last cen- 
tury, more than one hundred years ago. That this is a true historical state- 
ment, that the potential origin of Centre Cellege is to be sought and found at 
that early date, however startling and surprising it may sound to some, can be 
abundantly verified. 

Under its present institutional name, it is true the College came into exist- 
ence only in 1819 in virtue of a charter then granted by the Legislature of 
Kentucky. It can boast, therefore, as now constituted, of a corporate life of 
but seventy years. To discover, however, the germ out of which this life was 
developed, the acorn from which this educational oak grew, we must go back 
nearly forty years. 

In 1780 the Legislature of Virginia, with a wise prescience, granted a char- 
ter, and with it 10,000 acres of land, to a school or academy to be established in 
the then province of Kentucky. Men and events moved slowly in those early 
days. The trustees held their first meeting only in 1783, and it w^as not until 
1785, five years after the charter had been granted, that the school, under the 
significant and euphonious name of Transylvania Academy, began its work. 
Its projectors — those who w^ere mainly instrumental in securing its charter and 
grant — were largely Presbyterians. Its first trustees belonged to or were in 
sympathy with that church. It was opened here in Danville, in the home of 
one Presbyterian minister and taught by another. 

Here, then, in this little back-woods elementary school, thus called into 
being, thus organized, controlled and put in operation, we find the real ger- 
minal beginning of Centre College. 

Its efficient cause was the wise, liberal, God-fearing, far-sighted Character 
and views of those noble, heroic Scotch-Irish and English Presbyterians who 
first settled this beautiful land. 

Its material cause was a rude wilderness cabin, a little group of bare-footed, 
home-spun clad children, a pioneer Presbyterian teacher, and a few elementary 
English books. 

Its final cause was the promotion of the glory of God and the increased 
usefulness and happiness of man by means of a liberal religious education. 

AVhat an object for inspiring, uplifting thought; for grateful, pleasing, 
pious reflection is furnished by that little educational seed, dropped upon the 
bosom of this virgin soil, ever memorable as the first planted throughout this 
whole territory. 

AVhen its charter was granted the country was in the midst of our great 
revolutionary struggle. The province of Kentucky, discovered only a few years 
before by Boone and Kenton, was still an almost unbroken wilderness, dotted 
here and there with block houses and settlements, to the dwellers in which the 



12 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

low of the buffalo, the scream of the panther and the war whoop of the sav- 
age were familiar sounds. 

Could the most gifted painter or orator desire a more inspiring subject than 
is to be found in that small, humble school, opened in a rude log cabin, under 
such circumstances and amid such surroundings, the predecessor, if not the 
producer, of all the academies, seminaries and colleges through this great 
south-western land ? 

Fathers Rice and Mitchell, patron and teacher of this first academy, of 
which Centre College is lineal descendant, ye builded wiser, larger than ye- 
dreamed. The 3,000 of its students and Alumni, through the silences and 
darkness of a century past, hail, salute, bless ye as in a certain true sense the 
founders of that institution we love so dearly and to which we owe so much ! 

After a few years of struggling existence the infant academy was, in 1788, 
removed to Lexington, a large and flourishing town, by which step Lexington 
become and long continued the literary, even after it had ceased to be the polit- 
ical and commercial capital of the State. 

The larger town and more populous surrounding country gave at once to 
the school a greatly increased patronage, while the creation soon after of the 
district into a State, with the rapidly inflowing tide of population, opened 
before it a most promising and hopeful future. These bright prospects were, 
however, soon dissipated, and that in a way as unexpected as it was criminal 
and disastrous. 

In furtherance of the wild and universal propaganda inaugurated by the 
French revolutionists, its emissaries of the blood-born atheistic young republic 
had penetrated even to this distant wilderness land. Sympathy with their 
political views had prepared a large number of the prominent citizens of Lex- 
ington to accept their religious, or rather irreligious, sentiments and theories. 
A determined attempt was made by them to secure control of public instruc- 
tion. Their eff'orts, despite the most earnest resistance on the part of the 
Presbyterians, were crowned with success, and in 1794 the teacher of Transyl- 
vania Seminary, Rev. James Moore, a Presbyterian minister, was ejected by 
the Beard of Trustees,and the Rev. Henry Tomlin, a known disciple of Priestly, 
was placed at its head. 

They whose ancestors had fought, starved and died at Naseby, London- 
derry and Bothwell Bridge were not the men to submit supinely to such an 
outrage as this. Interests dearer to them than life were at stake. Having 
watched the gathering of the clouds, they were not found unprepared when 
the storm burst. The Presbytery of Transylvania at once inaugurated meas- 
ures to found an independent college under their own control, in which their 
sons might enjoy the advantages of an education without the contamination of 
their religious principles, and which might furnish the churches with an able 
and faithful ministry. 

At their spring meeting in 1794 it was resolved to establish at Pisgah, the 
seat of a strong Presbyterian Church, about nine miles from Lexington, a gram- 
mar school and seminary. An address was prepared and issued to the people 
of Kentucky, Cumberland and Miami. A large number of duly appointed 



INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 15 

agents were sent to the churches to soHcit money and patronage. In Decem- 
ber the Legislature was appealed to and a charter was granted by it to a sem- 
inary under the title of the Kentucky Academy. 

The decided action taken by the Presbytery was heartily and unanimously 
indoi'sed by the churches. The ajjpeal for money wherewith to support the 
academy met with a generous response, both at home and abroad. Nearly 
$■1,000 was given in Kentucky; and in the East, where Rev. Drs. Blythe and 
Rice had been sent to present the cause, the large sum of $10,000 was collected. 
Among the donors, each giving $100, w^ere John Adams and Gen. Washington, 
the latter of whom received Dr. Blythe with great courtesy, and expressed his 
warm interest in the young institution. Away across the ocean from distant 
London, greatly encouraging the hearts of these Christian educators, subscrip- 
tions came, amounting to $400, for a library and philosophical apparatus. 

The grammar school and college were opened at Pisgah respectively in 1796 
and 1797, and the Presbyterians, having now concentrated their patronage on 
them and having in their hands a supply of active funds, speedily outstrij^ped 
the seminary at Lexington. 

The leaders at Lexington seeing their own school dwindling while the 
Presbyterian institution was thus steadily growing, awoke to a realization of the 
fact that in driving away this large and influential body they had committed a 
blunder, if not a crime, and made overtures for a consolidation. Everything 
which the Presbyterians could reasonably demand, including a majority of the 
Board of Trustees, and thus substantial control of the new college, being oflFered, 
the overtures were accepted, the right of ecclesiastical oversight was surren- 
dered, and the tw'o institutions, under the imposing title of Transylvania Uni- 
versity, were in 1798 merged into one. 

The new university began its life under hopeful ausjDices. With varying 
but reasonable success it prosecuted its work under Presbyterian control for 
nearly twenty years. The first and second Presidents, Rev. Drs. Moore and 
Blythe, were ministers in that church. Gradually, however, the Presbyterians 
lost their ascendancy, until at last, out of twenty-one members of the Board of 
Trustees, they claimed but seven. 

In 1817 a second revolution almost as radical and sweeping as that of '94 
occurred. The Legislature of the State, for what reasons we have been wholly 
unable to ascertain, displaced the old and appointed an entirely new^ Board of 
Trustees, in which there was not a single Presbyterian. Dr. Honore Holley, of 
New England, a scholarly, gifted, brilliant man, but whose religious opinions 
were most repugnant to Presbyterians, w-as now elected President. 

Wiser, more faithful in defeat than in victory, again the tocsin of alarm 
was sounded, their patronage was at once withdrawn from the university at 
Lexington, and the whole body of Presbyterians in the State united in a suc- 
cessful application to the Legislature for a charter for another institution. The 
new institution was chartered under the title of "The Centre College of Ken- 
tucky," to be located within one-half mile of the town of Danville. And thus, 
after a wandering absence, under various transformations of more than thirty 
years, wiser, hardier by its mingled experiences of prosperity and adversity, the 



14 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

Presbyterian school, like Noah's dove returning to the ark, comes back to its 
first home. The Lord certainly directed, in love, this return. The permanent 
location of the college was of His own gracious ordination. 

Already a place of historic renown, the history of seventy years justifies 
the statement that no better location for a Presbyterian college could possibly 
have been chosen. Dear, cultured, hospitable Danville ! 

"Sweet Auburn, lovliest village of the plaiu," 

as pictured in glowing numbers by the poet, surpassed thee not in beauty and 
attractiveness. To fittingly sing thy praises and celebrate thy virtues, to tell 
what a kind, loving foster mother thou hast been to the thousands of youth 
who have been educated here, would task a more eloquent tongue than mine. 
Within thy borders are enshrined and contained the dust and homes of thof e 
dead and living, whom in heaven and on earth I love best. From thee I and 
mine have received only kindness, friendship and love. 

Do these remarks seem again to border on the over-personal — to be merely 
the expression of over-wrought enthusiasm and partiality? lam sure, could 
. the 3,000 teachers and students who have taught and studied here speak, they 
would in mighty chorus confirm all that I have said ; would testify that in all 
that goes to make an ideal location for a seat of learning, in liberality, culture 
and intelligence ; in a high standard of temperance, morality and religion ; in 
refined and hospitable Christian homes, this little city doth pre-eminently excel. 

Fellow- Alumni, doth not mention of the loving. Christian homes of Dan- 
ville touch a responsive chord in many of j'our hearts? Worn, scarred by the 
conflicts of life, as you sit here this morning, are not your thoughts busy with 
the memory of those olden days ? Do you not recall with irrepressible emo- 
tions of love, gratitude and tenderness — tears and smiles lying close together — 
that long ago time when, having first left the parental roof, lonely, heart-sore, 
home-sick, you were here received and treated not as boarders, but as beloved 
and trusted members of the household ? What valupd and lasting associations 
and friendships were then formed. From how many of these homes you car- 
ried in after years their choicest treasures to become the mothers of your chil- 
dren, your helpmeets and companions in the journey through life. 

That these lovely, attractive characteristics of the city and its inhabitants 
have been developed, produced in good measure, by the College and other insti- 
tutions which, because of the College, have been located here, is unquestionably 
true. The College is scarcely, if at all, more a debtor to the town than the town 
to it. The benefits received and imparted have been largely mutual. 

But to return directly to our subject. The charter of 1819 made the Col- 
lege a State institution. This was not what the Presbyterians desired, but it 
was the best which at that time they could obtain. And as thus chartered the 
College was organized and began its work. 

The original Board of Trustees was composed of men eminent in the pul- 
pit, on the bench, at the bar, on the field of battle, in the councils of State, 
men who, by their character and lives, would hav'e conferred honor on any 



INAUGURAL CEKEMOXIES. 15 

cause. Tliey were mainly in symiiathy with or memliers of the Presbyterian 
Church. This body, through the State, had been, is we have stated, dissatis- 
tied from the first with the charter. They wished to have the college entirely 
under their own control, and in 1824 petitioned the Legislature to this effect, 
promising, if their petition was granted, to raise a permanent endowment for 
the institution of $20,000. After a fierce and prolonged struggle in the Legisla- 
ture the charter was amended in accordance with their wishes. And in 1830^ 
the conditions having been fully complied with, the College passed into the 
hands of the Synod of Kentucky, by which body it has ever since been gov- 
erned. 

The eleven years — 1819 to 1830— during which the College was either wholly 
or in part under State control, were characterized by frequent and rapid changes 
in the Presidency, no less than four persons, two, however, only tem^jorary 
supplies, filling that position. The two regularly elected, permanent Presidents 
were Rev. Drs. Jeremiah Chamberlain and Gideon Blackburn, both honored, 
scholarly, beloved ministers in the Presbyterian Church, the latter greatly dis- 
tinguished as a gifted and impressive pulpit orator. During these years six 
classes had been, graduated, the largest not exceeding four or five in number. 

With Dr. Blackburn's resignation in 1830 we come to the close of our first 
period, that of prepai-ation and planting. Two determined conflicts for princi- 
ple, four appeals to the Legislature for new or amended charters, persistent 
efibrt, untiring industry, great liberality and sacrifices to establish an institution 
of higher Christian learning, are among the marked characteristics of this long 
period of labor and conflict. At its close we find the college weak in resources,, 
small in numbers, but little known, and exercising but a slight influence 
through the State. 

II. The second period — and we shall move now more rapidly — that of 
enlargement and progress, opens with the election to the Presidency of Rev. 
John Clarke Young. This occurred in Octobei-, 1830, and the newly-chosen 
President at once qualified and entered upon his work. 

Just here I confess to a feeling of perplexity and embarrassment. To> 
describe this golden age of the hfe of the College with even comparative accu- 
racy and fidelity without emphasizing the character and work of its President, 
to whom, in the opinion of all qualified to judge, its signal prosperity was- 
mainly due, would be impossible. And yet, delicacy demands that a son be 
chary and modest in sounding a father's praise. Others, however, unhampered 
by the close relationship which embarrasses me, and thoroughly acquainted 
with the subject, have spoken earnestly and eloquently concerning the notable 
life work performed by Dr. Young in behalf of the College. Of him and his. 
services I shall speak, therefore, in language almost wholly borrowed from the- 
Avritiugs and speeches of two of his most distinguished pupils and one of his 
most eminent colleagues and successors. 

"The administration of Dr. Young," writes Dr. Ormond Beatty, "was by 
far the longest, and it may with propriety, perhaps, be said that it was the- 
most brilliant that the college has ever known. He was twenty-seven years 
old when he was elected, and for twenty-seven years more, until the day of his 



16 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

death in 1857, he held the office. Thus one-half of his entire life and the whole 
of his active life was given to the college. Though very young when chosen to 
this high office, he already, with all who knew him, had a distinguished repu- 
tation for both learning and eloquence. The funds that had been subscribed 
had been expended ; the students were reduced to thirty. He found the col- 
lege without reputation, without endowment, without students, but he was 
young, hopeful and earnest. As soon as he entered upon his work, students 
began to come in, and the number steadily grew from year to year. Funds 
were provided for a meagre temporary support of a faculty. As his own repu- 
tation widened, that of the college expanded along with it. He had rare gifts 
as a teacher. His learning and eloquence were of a high order. His amiabil- 
ity and genial disposition attached his pupils and his brethren in the Synod 
warmly to him. The Synod took a new and livelier interest in the college. An 
organized and successful effort was made to endow it. Before his death, Dr. 
Young saw a permanent fund of more than $100,030 provided for the support 
of the school. The number of students had increased to nearly two hundred, 
and its reputation was probably equal to that of any institution in the whole 
South-west." 

"The dominant, controlling, moulding spirit" — I quote from an address 
delivered to the Alumni Association in 1885 by Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge— 
"The dominant, controlling, moulding spirit in the college for twenty-seven 
years was John C. Young. He pervaded every part of that life from the day 
the student matriculated until he graduated. He was the first of the faculty 
you met; he impressed you at once. He seemed to be ubiquitous,, and in 
spirit he was. The trustees gave him his own way; the faculty deferred to his 
wishes; the church implicitly believed in him. He was the friend, guide and 
counsellor of the family in which you lived, he was pastor of the church which 
you attended, and he was chief every week day. His influence was felt every 
day and everywhere. I can not overstate this, as with one voice those who 
were under him will testify. But he was a great teacher and a greater preacher. 
He was a prince among teachers and preachers, and he was singularly gifted in 
his power to adapt himself to young men. He secured their respect ; he won 
their confidence ; he awed them, if it became necessary so to do ; he dominated 
them by his will; he could, on occasion, overwhelm with his indignation or 
wither with his scorn. He had the precious gift of imparting knowledge. He 
had the rarer and higher gift of inspiring love for learning and strengthening 
the purpose of doing something. He turned out ready men, anxious to do 
something in life." 

Speaking on a similar occasion the following year, Hon. John C. Bullitt, of 
Philadelphia, after describing that perfection of character and life which results 
from self-control and patience, with rare intellectual gifts and graces, says : 

•' The best example of this in the course of my experience is to be found.in 
the life and character of Rev. John C. Young. He was guileless, yet wise ; he 
was gentle, yet full of manly earnestness of purpose, and if I may be permit- 
ted to yield to the enthusiasm enkindled by his name and memory, I should 
say that he was possessed of a sublime patience that pervaded his thoughts, his 




IXAUOTKAL CEREMONIES. 17 

speech, his actions and bis conduct in all the varied relations of life. Call it 
judgment, discretion, tact, what you may, it was the working of an earnest, 
patient spirit, seeking to perform the duties of his life to the full measure of his 
powers. He did his duty, and his life moved on as a noble, jilacid and un- 
broken stream to the ocean of a boundless futurity." 

"Though gentle, yet not dull, strong without rage, without o'erflowing, 
full." ^' Laus laudari a laudato,''^ the Romans tell us. If this be true — who 
doubts it? — then such tributes from such men as Ormond Beatty, W. C. P. 
Breckinridge and John Bullitt constitute, indeed, a bright and blessed crown 
of distinction and glory. 

During all these years the college experienced a steady and rapidly increas- 
ing influence and prosperity. Money, friends, students, reputation and power 
were constantly being added to it. Its faculty was increased ; the curriculum of 
studies enlarged ; the standard of instruction elevated. All this tended directly 
to widen the sphere of its patronage. Not from Kentucky alone, but from the 
whole South-west and from States north of the Ohio, the best sons of many of 
the best families were now drawn to Danville. Returning home after their 
college courses were finished, many among them, as ministers, lawyers, judges, 
physicians, merchants, legislators and statesmen, took easily the first places, 
and thus become swift and eloquent witnesses in behalf of Centre College. 
Biographies of the graduates through this period could not be written without 
furnishing at the same a good history of almost every Southern State during 
the past forty years. That this marked and enlarged prosperitj^ was in good 
measure due to the fidelity and ability of those associated with him in the 
work of instruction, no one was more ready to acknowledge than Dr. Young. 
If the commanding General was wise, scholarly and gifted, the subordinate 
officers were most capable, industrious and efficient. In proof of this I need 
only vneniion " venerabiles, dares nomines," Li. W, Green, W. L. Breckinridge, 
Ormond Beatty, W. M. Scott, Alfred Ryors, Jacob Cooper, W. Dodd, James Mat- 
thews, Henry Snyder, S. B. Barton, and J. J. Bullock. 

And now when the halls of the College were filled with students and its 
fame had become well nigh national ; when a good past and a most prosperous 
present gave promise of even a more brilliant and useful future, in the full 
maturity of his powers, at the comparatively early age of fifty-four, John C. 
Young was called from the life work he loved so well and had prosecuted so 
faithfully and successfullj'' to a better service above. On the monument which 
marks his last resting place, erected by his friends and old students, the follow- 
ing epitaph, written by his beloved and honored friend, E. P. Humphrey, D. D., 
may be read : 

" To the servant of God, full of faith and the Holy Ghost ; to the associate and teacher ; to 
the pastor and friend, able, faithful and true, this monument is erected by his brethren and 
neighbors, by his colleagues and pupils, who trusted and loved him." 

Though the workmen die, the woik, if it be of God, goes on. This work 
was of God, and a worthy successor of Dr. Young was found in Rev. Dr. Lewis 
W. Green, whose name stands first on the list of graduates of the college, and 



18 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

who many years before had filled the positions of Professor and Vice-President. 

Dr. Young's death occurred in June, 1857, and in August of the same year 
Dr. Green was called to the Presidency. He died in office in May, 1863. The 
last two years of my college life were passed under his Presidency, and I speak 
from personal knowledge and intimate association when I say that he was a 
true, noble, talented, gracious servant of God. To rare naiuial gifts, extensive 
and accurate learning, wide and varied culture, he added remarkable power as a 
public speaker. For about three years after his inauguration the College main- 
tained its high position. Then the great civil war began, and Mars proving 
more atttactive than Minerva, the students turned from the class room to the 
battle fields and military camps. 

Here in the midst of Dr. Green's brief term of service our second period 
ends. It may emphatically be called the golden age of Centre College, to be 
reproduced, if not surpassed, we trust, in the near future. 

III. Of the third and last period, which we have designated as that of 
consolidation and conservation, we shall attempt only the barest outline sketch. 
Five months after Dr. Green's death. Dr. Wm. L. Breckinridge, a distinguished 
member of a most distinguished family, was chosen as his successor. Many 
years before, like Dr. Green, he had filled the position of a professor in the Col- 
lege, but, after a brief term of service, had resigned to take charge of and build 
up one of th-^ largest and most efficient churches in all the land, with whose 
work his fame is indelibly associated. His administration fell in dark and 
troublous times. Our terrible civil war was at its height, and Centre College, 
like every other similar institution, felt fearfully its blighting effects. After 
serving the college for five years. Dr. Breckinindge resigned and returned to his 
loved work of preaching. 

Ormond Beatty, LL. D , was unanimously elected as Dr. Breckinridge's 
successor. There was a pre-eminent propriety and fitness in this choice. It 
was a splendid object lesson on the part of the Trustees of what is now called 
" civil service reform." Dr. Beatty was emphatically a child of, belonged to. 
Centre College. At the time of his elevation to the Presidency, for more than 
thirty years he had, as student and professor in three separate departments, 
been intimately identified with the college. His presence here to-day, an honor 
and a benediction to the institution, which for more than half a century he has 
served so well, shall not prevent my saying that in all the relations he has sus- 
tained to the College, his ability, zeal, devotion and fidelity have been of the 
highest possible order. 

Dr. Beatty, as chief executive officer of the college, was, soon after entering 
upon his work, confronted with the most vexed and perplexing questions. The 
civil war was over, but it had bequeathed to Presbyterians throughout the coun- 
try a terrible legacy in a divided church. A second Synod, at first independent, 
but soon connecting itself with the Southern Assembly, was formed in Ken- 
tucky. Each of the two Synods claimed rightful possession of the college. 
Earnest and prolonged negotiations and conferences were held looking to a 
division of the property or its joint control. These proving fi-^uitless, the South- 
ern Synod appealed to Ccezar, as represented by the civil courts. The decisions 



INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 19 

of these tribunals, both State and National, having been rendered in favor of 
the party already in possession, i. e., the old Synod, in connection with what is 
popularly known as the Northern Assembly, our Southern brethren withdrew 
in large measure their patronage and inaugurated measures to establish an 
institution of their own. 

During all these years of litigation and strife the College, under the wise, 
conservative and efficient administration of its gifted head, moved steadily on 
in the prosecution of its work, conserving its resources, increasing its patronage 
and slowly but surely regaining its old position of influence and power. I 
question whether during any other period of its life more faithful and eificient 
teaching work was ever done. Two events of unusual interest and importance 
occurring within this period should at least be mentioned. In 1871, with funds 
subscribed before the war, additional grounds were purchased and a new and 
commodious building was erected, the old one being transformed into a College 
Home. Though poorly adapted to its present uses, it is filled, and a new stu- 
dents' hall, with all niiodern comforts and appliances, is greatly needed. 

The other event referred to as occurring about this time was the loss of 
nearly $100,000 of the endowment fund by the burglary of the Falls City Bank 
in Louisville, the depository of the College securities. This seemed at first an 
irreparable disaster. A portion of the bonds, however, was subsequently recov- 
ered, and the remaining loss was made good by liberal subscriptions, secured 
through the activity and efficiency of Eev. Dr. Lapsley JMcKee, who had 
recently left a large and flourishing church in Louisville to accept the position 
of Vice-President in the College. 

At their annual meeting in June, 1888, upon his own repeated and urgent 
requests, the Board of Trustees reluctantly accepted the resignation of Dr. 
Beatty as President. This action was immediately followed by the creation of 
a new Professorship — that of Metaphysics — to which he was unanimously 
elected. His acceptance of this special department, thus formed for him, has 
given profound gratification to every friend of the College. It preserves un- 
broken the one link which connects the present with the golden past of the 
Institution, and secures a continuance of his invaluable services in the instruc- 
tion and government of the College. 

Upon the acceptance by the Board of Dr. Beatty's resignation, I was elected 
his successor, and without waiting for a formal inauguration, in October last 
began my work. The immediate pressing need of the College was a large 
increase of its endowment, and to this work, by direction of the Board of Trus- 
tees and with the hearty indorsement of the Synod, I addressed myself. 

From member's of the Board, from the citizens of Danville, throughout the 
State, notably in the East, responses to the appeals made in behalf of this old, 
historic Institution, which, as we have seen, has for more than a century, 
through clouds and sunshine, in prosperity and adversity, stood steadfast and 
faithful for a high standard of education, a pure and uncorrupted Christianity, 
an unbroken and united country, have been most encouraging. The net results 
of a year's labor have been the addition of about $75,000 to the permanent 
endowment, the establishment by a number of representative men of twelve to 



20 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

fifteen free scholarships in the gift of the faculty, and a marked increase in stu- 
dents, the number enrolled now being much greater than at any time for 
twenty-six years. An additional $75,000 is a pressing, immediate necessity. 
That during the present collegiate year it will be secured I am most hopeful 

From the long, honorable roll of the useful, eminent men who have filled 
the position of Trustees of the College it may seem at first view invidious to 
select any single name for special note and commendation. I am sure, how- 
ever, that I voice a very general sentiment in saying that among all those who 
have thus served the Institution, in length and value of service, the late Edward 
P. Humphrey stands ^'primus inter pares.^'' For more than a quarter of a century 
he was the Chairman of the Board, and through all those years, with his pen 
his tongue and his purse, on the platform, in the pulpit, in the press and in its 
business councils, he wrought for the College with a zeal and efficiency beyond 
all praise. 

And now, surveying with one comprehensive view the whole life lived and 
work done by the Institution as they have passed in review before us, are we 
not justified in saying, as Webster said of Massachusetts, "thank God the past 
at any rate is safe." Has it not been a good and useful past? Has not the old 
College lived and worked for the glory of God and the good of man ? The 
quiet, silent, unseen efiects of its work in the mental, moral and spiritual uplift 
and advancement of the whole South-west, eternity alone will disclose. Its 
visible fruitage has been about 3,000 students matriculated, nearly 1,000 gradu- 
ated, by whose services as ministers and teachers, as senators and congressmen, 
as lawyers, physicians and men of business, the church and the country have 
been unspeakably blessed. No race or nation, no institution or individual has 
lived long and wrought well upon earth without acquiring a fixed, definite 
character, developing certain marked, distinguishing features or characteristics. 
Centre College furnishes no exception to this general rule. Acquaintance with 
its life and work can not fail to impress you with the fact that all through its 
history it has exerted, in a pre-eminent degree, a deep, profound religious influ- 
ence upon its students. If, indeed, the child be father to the man ; if the tree 
grows as the twig is inclined ; if prayer and fidelity to God are real potencies, 
theh this is just what we might know must have been true. It was born, has 
been nurtured, developed, administered and governed in prayer, dependence 
upon and trust in God. Almost every confiict through which, in its germinal 
and full grown states, it has passed has been a struggle for Christian principle. 
Its Trustees have been almost wholly God-fearing, Christ-loving men. Its 
Presidents, with but one exception, and that one a preacher in all but name, 
and many of its Professors, have been eminenr, earnest ministers of the gospel, 
who craved and sought above all else the spiritual good of their pupils. What 
could result from all this but just what has resulted? The gracious, abiding 
benediction of God in the conversion of immortal souls. Moi'e than one-fifth 
of the Alumni of the College have become preachers, scores and hundreds of 
others seeking only secular, have here obtained that spiritual knowledge which 
maketh wise unto eternal life, and returning to their old homes have been and 
still are in mvriads of cases centers in the community where they live of sav- 



INArOURAL CEREMONIES. 21 

ing influence and power. This, my hearers, we regard as Centre College's 
chiefest, brightest crown of glory in the past. A continuance, an enlargement, 
of this above all else yve covet and pray for in the future. 

One other distinguishing characteristic should be mentioned. Equally 
with the religious influence exerted, Centre College has developed among its 
students the power or art of public speaking. Into that vexed question, have 
not the invention and use of the printing press, telegraph, stenography and 
type-writing depreciated greatly the value of spoken in favor of written thought, 
we shall not enter. Be this as it may, so long as man's heart and brain remain 
what they are to-daj-- and have been for 6,000 years, it is absolutely certain that 
human eloquence will continue in the future, as it has in the past, one of the 
most potent forces in moulding and determining national and individual char- 
acter and action. Who ever heard the two Breckinridgi-s, John and William, 
Lewis Green, Presley Ewing, Joshua Bell, George Vest, Samuel Burchard, S. 
Muchmore, Joseph Blackburn, Thomas Crittenden, John Phillips, Alexander 
Humphrey, Gelon Rout, James McKenzie, John Simrall, John Browai, John 
Young, John Harlan, and Boyd Winchester — who ever heard these men in the 
pulpit, at the bar, on the platform, in the halls of Congress, when thoroughly 
aroused in the discussion of a great theme, and has not been stirred and thrilled 
down to the inmost depths of his being by the power of their matchless elo- 
quence? To them and many others equally gifted Centre College can point 
with grateful love and pride and say, " They are my sons." " If I did not 
create, I certainly nurtured, stimulated and developed their wondrous gift." 

And now what of the future of this Institution, over whose brilliant and 
useful past we have lingered so long? Our time and your patience are well 
nigh exhausted, but upon this second, and in some aspects most important 
subject, we must speak for a few minutes longer. 

What shall the future of Centre College be? It ought, it must, have a 
future corresponding with its glorious, beneficent past. Not only " nulla vestigia 
retwrsum," but side by side with that conservative motto we would also to-day 
inscribe " Excehior'" upon our banners. The perpetuation of all that has made 
the College renowned and useful in the past, this certainly must be secured. 
The old traditional college curriculum, embracing, with mathematics and 
natural and physical sciences, what the ancients termed " the humanities " — lan- 
guage, rhetoric, history and philosophy — has been approved and commended 
by the experience of ages. It has made Centre College for seventy years a 
fountain of blessing and power. To this we shall give our first, best thought 
and effort, aiming to advance it to the highest possible degree of perfection. 

In the judgment of the best educators, the chief end of a college, as distin- 
guished from a professional education, is not the acquisition of knowledge, 
valuable though that be, but learning how to think, the enlargement, invigora- 
tion and discipline of the mind. "You may make," said Dr. Young in his 
inaugural address, " you may make the mind a lumber-room, where vast stores 
of knowledge are packed away, and yet the possessor may be useless and mis- 
erable. But furnish him with good principles, cultivated, disciplined faculties 
and correct habits, soon his own observation and industry will, in large meas- 



22 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

ure, compensate for his lack of information, and enable him, in every depart- 
ment of life, to excel." 

Take this boy, said the great Earl of Chatham to the tutor of his afterward 
even more eminent son, W. Pitt ; bring him back to me at the end of a year, 
not having acquired a single additional item of knowledge, but able to fix his 
mind for fifteen minutes upon the point of a needle, and I will consider mysel^ 
and the boy as greatly your debtors. 

And along the same hne that great master of philosophy, Sir W. Hamilton, 
goes so far as almost to identify genius with the power of concentrated attention. 
That for the accomplishment of this important object the original and adven- 
turous spirit of the age has made no improvement upon, discovered no substi- 
tute for, the old, regular classical course, I firmly believe. Nor while thus 
securing in the highest degree this supreme advantage, is such a course, in an 
enlarged view, which embraces the whole of life, one whit behind any other in 
imparting valuable knowledge. He who successfully prosecutes it will be able 
best to handle himself, will have learned " to observe, compare, combine and 
judge for himself," and a master at least of the most precious elements of 
knowledge will have laid a broad, strong foundation upon which any profes- 
sional or mechanical superstructure may be securely and easily built. 

Holding these views, I shall advise all students, where it is possible, to pur- 
sue the regular classical course. We know, however, that the spirit of the age 
moves in an opposite direction. Many young men can not, many others will 
not, take such a course. And so, while enlarging and perfecting it, we must 
provide such additional courses of instruction, such new subjects of investiga- 
tion and study as will meet both the needs and wishes of this impatient, hur- 
rying, expanding age. 

In the wide department of the natural sciences, embraciug astronomy, 
physics, chemistry, biology and geology, one Professor is attempting to do the 
work, and, we may add, doing it with marvelous success, which, in justice both 
to the teacher and the subjects taught, should be divided among at least three 
instructors. With a separate, commodious building for this work, thus manned, 
we should certainly secure far larger and richer results. 

An entirely new department of mining and engineering, provided with a 
well-appointed and equipped home and efficiently officered, would meet a cry- 
ing need of this South-western country, and draw students from every part 
thereof. 

With Cornell, Troy and Lehigh, in extent of instruction, we could not hope 
for years, possibly ever, to compete, but hundreds and thousands to whom 
access to these, through distance and expense, is impossible, might easily, at 
a moderate cost, avail themselves of the priceless advantages of such a school 
located here. 

Enlarging yet further the scope of our horizon, but limiting it still to the 
practical and possible, why may we not hope to see established in connection 
with the College a complete school of technology? Our country will soon be 
overstocked with lawyers, politicians and physicians. The tide in that direc- 
tion must ere loug begin to ebb. A part ef those receding waters will certainly 



INAUGURAL CEREMOMES. 23 

be directed toward mechanical pursuits. To many, also, because of the long 
and expensive training necesFary, a professional life is impossible, and yet they 
aspire to something above the lot of common, hand-working, day laborers. 
Here, then, at the gateway of the New South, let a good, thoroughly-appointed 
school be opened, in which all the mechanical branches of modern industrial 
life shall be taught, and it will ere long be crowded with eager students. 

"With these appointments, with our scholarships increased to 100, with a 
fund of $25,000 to $50,000, the interest on which can be used still further in 
assisting exceptionally deserving but poor young men, and with a few fellow- 
ships endowed, enabling our best graduates to prosecute here or abroad original, 
practical subjects of study, what might not be reasonably expected? Are we 
sketching on too large a canvas? Do these projections seem Utopian and 
chimerical? That they far exceed our present resources is most certain, but 
that they surpass not the pressing, immediate needs of our age and land is just 
as true. 

Freed from the dreadful incubus and curse of slavery, the country is one 
to-day as never before, and the South, with its marvelous material resources, 
has awakened from its industial slumber of centuries, and is girding itself as a 
strong man to run a race. The amazing progress of the past ten years has 
seemingly brought her to the threshold of an era of improvement and advance- 
ment unsurpassed in all history. Education, intellectual activity and ambition, 
will keep step with this material onward march. They have already caught 
the contagion. Our public schools are rapidly increasing in number and effi- 
ciency ; seminaries and academies of learning are springing up on every side. 
The choicest, the most ambitious of their students will seek an education higher 
and broader than these can give. 

Transform Centre College into such an institution as we have sketched ; 
builil around the olil historic College here in Danville these additional schools, 
and the salubrity of our climate, the beauty of the surrounding country, the 
intelligence, culture and hospitality of our people, the moderate cost of living, 
and the grand results achieved in the past will draw to it a patronage ; will ena- 
ble it to do a work for God and humanity beyond our power to depict. 

There are many things in the history and present condition of Centre Col- 
lege which qualify it pre-eminently for doing this work. It has always been, 
and is now, a religious institution. It belongs to and is controlled by a Church 
(in no narrow, sectarian way, however), which, from the days of Cahnn and 
Knox, has ever placed the spelhng book and reader side by side with the Word 
of God. In the Providence of God it is legally connected with one branch of 
that Church, while its home, old students and Alumni are wdthin the territory 
occupied in good part by the other. It has always stood for civil, national 
unity and fraternity. It stands now for an undivided country and a reunited 
Church. It knows no North, no South ; is connected with no dead past issues ; 
appeals to no sectional prejudices or sentiments for support or patronage, but, 
with aims and ambitions as high and broad as the entire Word of God and the 
whole country, seeks to train and send forth disciplined, educated Christian

men, prepared in all the departments of life to perform well the arduous and 
noble duties pertaining to American citizenship. 

To fill out the outline, to materialize the great plan thus sketched and por- 
trayed will require, I hear some one say, a large amount of money. Where can 
you hope to obtain it? That in overflowing measure it is in our country we all 
know. That in good part it is possessed hy large-souled, philanthropic. Chris- 
tian men, who wish to use their wealth for the betterment of man and the glory 
of God, I am equally sure. Scores, hundreds of individuals have, during the 
past quarter of a century, acquired fortunes ten, twenty times larger than would 
be needed to make all our desires and hopes a present reality, and with many oi 
them enlargement of heart has kept full pace with increase of wealth. They 
are earnestly, prayerfully seeking investments which shall yield the surest, best 
dividends in national prosperity and fraternity, human virtue and happiness, 
and the divine benediction and favor. 

What investment could possibly promise larger returns along these lines 
than building up here in Danville such an institution as we have described ? 
The immense fortune of the late Corneliu.s Vanderbilt has passed, I have every 
reason to believe, into the hands of wise, liberal. Christian men and women. 
But he and they, I am sure, would indorse the statement that no part of his 
vast estate was more wisely, beneficently invested than the million dollars given 
to establish that magnificent seat of Christian learning which bears his name. 
I have hope, yea, I have faith, to believe that in the not distant future one or 
more of our wealthy, Christian philanthropists will recognize in Centre College 
a good field for a similar investment. In the meantime, however, not waiting 
for this " Danean golden shower," a general movement among the old students 
of the College, a contribution according to their means from her 3,000 sons, 
would at once place the Institution upon a far higher and broader plane of ser- 
vice. Some of them have within the past year given most liberally ; others are 
now contemplating even larger gifts. A new Professorship endowed, one oi- 
two greatly needed buildings erected by her loving, grateful children, would 
prove just now of incalculable advantage to the College. 

Brief but emphatic mention must be made of the movement inaugurated 
during the past year by the resident Alumni to secure the co-operation of all 
their brethren in providing facilities in the College for the more thorough study 
of our own mother tongue. The specific form which this movement has taken 
is the endowment of a John C. Young Professorship of English History and 
Literature by a small contribution from as large a number as possible of the old 
students. A good beginning has already been made toward the accomplishment 
of this greatly needed and most laudable object. It can not too speedily be 
pressed to a successful consummation. 

And now in closing let me again emphasize the fact so conspicuous through 
all its history — Centre College has been a religious institution. The culture and 
education of the moral and spiritual has been earnestly, prayerfully sought^ 
side by side with the discipline and development of the intellectual. The men 
who planted, nurtured, endowed and controlled the College, its teachers and 
the instruction imparted have all and always been in hearty, thorough syni-

pathy and accord with the great fundamental truths of the Bible. Young men 
of every creed and of no creed have been received and welcomed to its halls of 
learning ; and, while nothing has been attempted in the way of inculcating 
sectarian or denominational tenets, yet every reasonable effort has been exerted 
to induce its students to embrace the cardinal doctrines of the Christian religion. 
May God keep it steadfast and true a;long this line through all the ages to come. 
I certainly shall do all in my power toward this end. As the distinguished 
President of Princeton said of that great institution, so I say of the one located 
here, " God helping me, during my administration. Centre College shall keep- 
faith w'ith the dead." Or adopting in substance the words of another eminent 
educator, speaking on an occasion like this concerning the college over w^hich 
he had been called to preside, " We avow that it is our aim to bring over and 
keep in the Institution the influence of the principles of the gospel of the Son 
of God." It is our design to mingle the waters of the Pierian spring with those 
of the well of Bethlehem and of Siloa's fount that flows fast by the oracle of 
God. It is our wish to graft the laurel of Parnassus into the vine that is planted 
upon the top of Zion's mount. It is our desire that the Minerva of our College 
may be baptized into Christ and be inspired by the Spirit of the Most High_ 
For the realization of our hopes and plans our dependence is first of all upon 
the Almighty. Our ancestors looked to Him, and the Institution was planted. 
Our fathers trusted in Him, and it was enlarged and prospered. His favor and' 
blessing we are sure will be upon us, their descendants and children, in our 
efforts still further to increase its usefulness and power. 

Under God, to the friends and patrons of liberal Christian education 
throughout our whole land; to you brethren of the Synod and the people whom 
yov. represent ; to the members of the Board of Trustees, the Alumni, Faculty 
ana Students of the College, and to the citizens of this lovely little city, for 
seventy years the home of the Institution, we hopefully and confidently look 
for sympathy, support and co-operation. With such allied forces, marshalled,. 
en?rgized and directed by the great Captain of our salvation, while fervently 
tlwnking God for the illustrious, useful past of Centre College, we take courage- 
aid hope as to an even more glorious and beneficent future. 

At the conclusion of the inaugural address the Association j^roceeded to the- 
Ccllege to partake of the dinner, after which Dr. Young introduced the speak-

ADDRESS 



JNO. W. YERKEs, Esq. 



Mr. Chairman : It is a pleasant duty, ladies and gentlemen, to assure you, 
on behalf of my brother resident Alumni, of our gratification attending your 
personal presence at the exercises of this glad, red-letter day, and our pleasure 
in having you as guests at this old-fashioned dinner. Many of you are children 
of this College, sons of " Old Centre," holders of her diplomas, and recipients 
of her hallowed benedictions — benedictions bestowed upon you, on happy com- 
mencement days, in the old church so dear to your hearts, by a sainted Young, 
Green or Breckinridge, or in the new church by ex-President Beatty, who, 
though he has passed the seventy-fourth mile-stone in the roadway of life and 
is seeking some rest as he enjoys the peaceful twilight of honored age, yet stays 
with and stands by the College. The pupil, the friend, the confidant of Presi- 
dent John C. Young, the teacher, the friend, the counsellor of President W. C. 
Young, Dr. Beatty is to-day the living, connecting link between the past glory 
and the present prosperity of the College. 

We welcome you, gentlemen Alumni, as brothers coming back for a brief 
gathering in the old home, a home beloved and sacred, in w^hich you have never 
parted with your portion of the heritage, but hold it in fee simple, with right of 
possession undisputed. We welcome you as men who, by the manliness, clean- 
ness, and fidelity of your lives, by the rank and station accorded you by your 
brother-men, have made more luminous the good name of " Old Centre," and 
adding to her renown, you have added to the value of our common inheritance. 
Our single complaint, during this family reunion, is that some of our Alumni 
seem to believe in the policy of absenteeism, and that there are only three hun- 
dred and fifty chairs drawn up to this board to-day when we hoped there would 
be five hundred. Whether or no "absentee landlordism " be the curse of Ire- 
land, absentee Alumniism is damaging, if not disastrous, to the prosperity of 
any institution. 

Dr. Holmes says he somewhere read that the lineal descendants of the for- 
ester who carted off" the body of William Rufus, with Sir Walter Tyrrel's fatal 
arrow yet undrawn, have driven a cart and labored in the New Forest from that 
memorable, historic day to this. Would that such loyalty and attachment to 
locality, to this locality, to this very spot, had all the fervor of a passion in our 
brotherhood. Then we resident Alumni would know our brothers by a face to 



28 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

face acquaintance, rather than by a study of the familj^ record, kept in musty 
catalogues. Let me urge annual pilgrimages and yearly gatherings here each 
recurring commencement June. They will quicken your love for the College 
and give birth to the desire and purpose that son and grandson should tread the 
same walks, sport on the same campus, court in the same parlors, gather in the 
same halls, wear the same society badges, recite from the same benches, strive 
for the same prizes, earn the same diplomas, and be sons of the same College 
with sire and grandsire. Thus would the Alumni Association become a potent 
factor in the advance of the College. And if the grand old Synod of Kentucky, 
which founded this institution in prayers, in hope, in sacrifice, would commit 
to our Association some portion in the College government, as Yale and Har- 
vard have to their Alumni, this again would bring into living reality the con- 
nection between the College and her sons, and the responsibility following this 
representation in the council chambers of the College would be attended by 
and productive of a broader and stronger interest in her prosperity among her 
graduates. 

And now turning from the Alumni, none the less cordial is our greeting 
for our non-Alumni friends. Without the claims attendant upon sonship, you 
have been the loyal friends, cordial well-wishers and generous helpers of the 
College. Your friendship for her, your gifts to her, your presence to-day to 
witness the installation of Dr. Young into the official headship of the College, 
all bespeak for you a welcome well seasoned with old-time Kentucky hospi- 
tality. We believe the College is worthy of your friendship. You heard her 
history this morning, a history full of honor and usefulness. She hath done 
what she could. Her history is short compared with Harvard, founded in 1638, 
with Yale in 1716, with King's, now Columbia, pointing to Alexander Hamil- 
ton as her most illustrious pupil, or with Princeton, bearing on her rolls the 
revered name of James Madison. Considering her limitations of time, endow- 
ment and attendance, her work is cheerfully submitted by her officials for 
popular scrutiny and judgment. She may be a trifle "old fogy" according to 
the views of some, and not fully in sympathy and in line of advance with that 
supposed spirit of progress which demands for the student the widest personal 
liberty and the broadest election in the choice of his studies. She may believe 
that the College faculty should in some respects stand in loco parentis to the stu- 
dent, and thus prevent the transition of the pupil from well-regulated, Christian 
firesides to the College halls, from being "the saddest of orphanages." Direct- 
ing in some measure not only the intellectual, but also the moral and social 
progress of her boys, this College in the past, with God's blessing, has done the 
greatest possible personal good to her students. She has had her days of glad- 
ness and sunshine, such as this, and has also passed through periods of gloom 
and shadow. In 1830, at the termination of the Presidency of Dr. Blackburn, 
she seemed left without friends, without endowment, without students. During 
the dark days of the civil war, and the darker days immediately following, 
many, some even among her staunchest followers and upholders, feared lest her 
sun was a setting sun. 

To-day I am reminder! of the closing scene in the Constitutional Conven- 



IXAUGlTiAL CEREMONIES. 29 

tion of this nation. You remember the fierce, protracted, partisan debates of 
that body, the well-grounded doubts of a successful issue. Finally patriotism 
was triumphant, the great work completed, the immortal pajoer signed. On 
the back of the President's quaint arm chair, says a recent historian, had been 
emblazoned a half sun, brilliant with its gilded rays. As General Washington, 
on final adjournment, left this chair, Benjamin Franklin, pointing to it, said: 
"As I have been sitting here all these weary weeks, I have often wondered 
whether yonder siin was a rising or a setting sun. Now', I know, it is a rising 
sun." 

So to-day, ladies and gentlemen, standing in the midst of this great gather- 
ing of her friends, with her halls filled with earnest students, wath her faculty 
enlarged, with her endowment increased, with a new President in the very- 
noontide of mental strength and physical vigor, wath his heart aflame with love 
for the College of his father, his brothers and himself, with his present success 
an inspiration for continued endeavors, I know, in the radiant light of all these 
facts, glorious in themselves, and also blessed propkecies and promises for the 
future, I know that the sun of this College is a rising sun. 

To you, your friendship, your liberality, your shoulder to shoulder support, 
this knowledge is in large part due, and your toorth is warrant for your ivelcome. 



RESPONSE 

OP 

Gov. S. B. BUCKNER. 



Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : When I received an intimtation 
that it was expected that I would respond to a sentiment in honor of the Com- 
monwealth of Kentucky, I did not think that I would be called upon to reply 
to allusions so complisaentary to myself. While I am conscious of having 
brought to the discharge of the duties of the Executive office a high sense of 
the responsibilities of the position, and have sought to act with fidelity to the 
people, I have not had the vanity to think that my services would be associated 
with those of the distinguished statesmen who have preceded me in the Execu- 
tive chair. It will be a sufficient gratification to my ambition if my name 
should hereafter be regarded as second to any of those illustrious names which 
have heretofore adorned the pages of Kentucky history. For the compliment- 
ary terms, sir, in which you have so kindly presented me, and for the cordial 
greetings I have received, I can only return my sincere acknowledgments. 

Kentucky has in some respects occupied an anomalous position in the sis- 
terhood of States. During a long period, while the adventurous pioneers were 
winning the land for their descendants and for the country, it was the advanced 
guard of civilization, separated from the older civilizations of the continent by 
hundreds of miles of mountain-wilderness, a garden spot which could be 
reached only by descending the Ohio river iu the rude boats of the period or by 
threading the narrow and difficult trace through the Cumberland Gap, first 
marked out by Boone. In fact, the State contained a population of perhaps 
200,000, with your beautiful locality as a central point, before there was a well- 
defined wagon road connecting it with the civilization beyond the mountains. 
It may be mentioned, too, as a curious fact, that the present year — more than a 
century after the first settlement of the State — witnesses the completion of rail- 
way lines along the identical routes followed by the first immigrants^a railway 
along the south bank of the Ohio river and another piercing the Cumberland 
Mountain at the famous Gap. 

The student of history is interested in noting the fact that while the col- 
onies along the Atlantic seaboard were contending with the mother country for 
independence, the hardy pioneers who were our progenitors were not only 
carving out for themselves a home in the unpeopled wilderness, but were ex- 
tending far beyond its former limits the territories of the older States. So 



INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 31 

marked au influence did this settlement exert, that a recent historical writer has 
demonstrated that but for the conquest of the AVest by George Eogers Clark^ 
Shelby, Boone, Sevier, and other pioneers, the United States would have been 
restricted to the comparatively narrow limits bounded by the Atlantic Ocean 
and Allegheny Mountains. We can justly claim, with pride, that the eflforts of 
our ancestors made possible the greatness of the American Union. 

It is generally conceded that Keutuckians possess, in an eminent degree, the 
elements of individuality. It is charged, and perhaps justly, that the individu- 
al Kentuckian is more apt to rely upon himself than upon the laws of society 
for a redress of his personal grievances. We may readily trace a cause for this 
characteristic in the methods pursued by our ancestors. In winning the land 
from the assaults of a savage foe, each individual was compelled to rely more 
upon his own vigilance and courage than upon the concerted action of society^ 
and it was but natural that the memory of his individual prowess should be 
transmitted to his posterity as a virtue worthy of emulation. But even those 
who criticise us with severity are compelled to concede that while our viola- 
tions of the law may be frequent, they do not often descend to the perpetration 
of those meaner crimes which are a constant reproach to the civilization of so- 
cieties which boast their superiority to our own. 

But we may confidently rely upon such institutions as Centre College,, 
which has given so many illustrious names to our history, to correct the defects 
of our civilization and to infuse amongst our people respect for every virtue- 
and obedience to every law. Your honored predecessors, Mr. President, have 
done much to accomplish this end. We expect no less from your administra- 
tion of this venerable Institution. 

I would not be considered, in any sense, a representative Kentuckian, if I 
did not recognize the presence of the array of beauty which beams so- 
brightly upon us from yonder galleries. Whatever his faults, the Kentuckian 
claims to possess one redeeming virtue — his chivalrous admiration and rever- 
ence for woman. 

'• With Apollo scarce deigning to .share 

The empire of glorious day, 
She beams with a splendor so rare 

That he yields to her absolute sway ; 
She quickens the life of the young, 

She revives the dull spirit of age, 
And the charm of her musical tongue 

Will silence the words of the sage." 

To the guidance of two such monitors as woman and Centre College we 
may safely confide oiu' future. 



response: 

OF 



Gov. T. T. Crittendkn, 



It is no small honor to respond to one of the toasts on this occasion. Great 
changes have taken place at this College, in fact throughout the world, since 
the Class of 1855, of which I was a member, bade adieu to these old classic 
walls. Its then revered head, primus inter pares, has been gathered to his reward, 
as a shock of ripe corn, and now we are assembled to witness the installation 
of his son to the Presidency, upon whose stalwart young shoulders will rest as 
gracefully, and we hope as ably, the mantel so long worn by his great father. 
It is seldom a son can stand in and fill the shoes of his father, and it is less sel- 
dom that the son transcends the father. The j^ounger Pitt did it in England, 
the younger Adams did it in America. Comparisons often make such succes- 
sions less desirabU, but when even equality obtains, a higher appreciation is 
bestowed by a generous public, and the successor becomes, as Burke said of the 
younger Pitt, not only a chip of the old block, but the old block itself. I con- 
gratulate this young scion of a double stock on his elevation, believing he will 
not lower the standards of his eminent father; that the times have not yet 
drifted Kentucky, and the whilom friends of this once famous College, so far 
from the wisdom of the past, as well as the present, as to curtail its patronage 
because of its religious relations towards the old Assembly, because of a senti- 
ment determined and buried long years ago by the abitrament of the sword. 
Were I able to call the roll of its graduates from the Class of 1823 to 1860, 
together with its thousands of irregulars who graced its halls, and could have a 
response from the South as well as the North, and could, by some super-human 
power, make alive again its loved dead, of all trades, of all professions,- and 
assemble them in the auditorium of this College, from the quiet family ceme- 
teries, as well as from the historic battle-fields, where all sleep together as they 
died together, calmly awaiting the judgment day, me thinks but one voice, but 
one expression, would be heard from the living and the recalled, accentuating 
the hope and prayer, " in thoughts that breathe and words that burn," that old 
Centre College should again be revived, rebuilt and rehabilitated, as the whole 
country had been, and started on a newer and grander career, that its sons in 
the future as well as in the past "may be as plants grown up in their youth, 
and its daughters as corner-stones, polished after the similitude of a palace." 

Kentucky is full of the tenderest, boldest and grandest historic reminis- 



iNAUCii'KAi. ceremo.\ip:,s. 33 

cences. Its very name is redolent of the past, recalling the most daring pioneers, 
the noblest builders of a commonwealth, the ablest orators, statesmen and sol- 
diers, the most elevated mothers, the fairest of daughters and the purest of 
legislators, " without unspotted, innocent within," who laid deep and strong 
the foundations of the State in law and equity, " ji:>ro ecclesia et patrla," on which 
rests to-day the greatness of its present name. It is a Pantheon of dead heroes 
and dead institutions, whose scholars have occupied every position in Church 
and State, from the Yice-Presidency to the magistracy of a township, from the 
judicial ermine to the Presidency of its foremost college, filling them to the 
fullest measure of honorable service, without a stain upon their character. 
Transylvania and Bacon Colleges should teach the lesson that great names will 
not always preserve a college, any more thau a man, from the moi talitj' of this 
age. Those were great and popular institutions in their day. What disease 
touched and infected their systems is not for me to say. Permit me to say here 
that sectionalism and bigotry should never enter a collegiate institution. The 
air encasing them should be free from all such deadly germs. I shall hail the 
day when there shall be but one representative Presbyterian College in Ken- 
tucky, when all the branches of that grand old Church shall be united on an 
educational basis, and on that other grander one of one Church, one country 
and one General Assembly. I still love this State with the fervor of a native 
son, undiminished " one jot or tittle " by long absence, in whose bosom repose 
every member of my ancestral family, father, mother, brothers and sisters, and 
my heart's desire is to see it moving on the elevated plane of leadership in 
education, in morality and in sound judgment. I make this api^eal to the 
Church and State I love so well, for a union of hearts and of hands, in no spirit 
of censoriousness, not as an intruder or busybody, but as a citizen of both the 
Church and State, in those high spiritual requirements of citizenship, believing 
there is as much a living force in the expression to-day as when spoken, " a 
house divided against itself shall not stand." 

The geographical position of Kentucky makes it for the West and South a 
natural educational center — equally accessible in fact to all parts of the coun- 
try — possessing a climate almost as genial as that of Italj^, without the extremes 
of the North or the South, with a society true to every prompting of honor, 
elevated in every emotion, act and teaching, with a womanly and manly bear- 
ing in the presence of son, student, and servant that excites the admiration and 
iuutation of all, with a graceful familiarity to all in their respective positions 
without inviting the insolence of either class. There is an indefinable some- 
thing in the air, soil and society of Kentucky which makes it the natural loca- 
tion of colleges. Its history is an encyclopedia of examples and precedents 
which invite the greatest admiration and most critical examination. What is 
the duty of all Kentuckians is now the j)ressing question of the day with these 
people. Opportunities, like time and tide, wait for no man. If taken at the 
Itood they lead to success, if omitted the train moves on with terrific speed. I 
see striking evidences of prosperity all over the South which sat for so many 

years after the war 

" The Xiohe of nations. 

Childless and crowuless in her voifeless woe." 



34 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

God speed the day when that beautiful land of the sun and the bird shall rise 
resplendent in its new birth, like a strong man ready to run a race, more radiant 
than ever before, 

" With flowers in the valley, splendor in the Ijeam, 
Health on the gale, and freshness in the stivam." 

I believe Kentucky is just entering on its most propitious career. Hereto- 
fore its glory, strength and wealth have been in the Blue Grass region and in 
the agricultural productions in the middle and southern parts of the State. The 
eastern or mountainous portion of it was looked upon as the Nazareth of the 
State, filled with poverty, ignorance and lawlessness. To-day it is the greatest 
mine and center of mineral, water power and lumber wealth in the State, and 
will, sooner or later, pay more money directly and indirectly into its coffers 
than any of those other parts which have for so long been the theme of the 
orator and the song of the poet. Soon a new race and a new energy will dis- 
place the turbulence and the lawlessness of that region which for so many years 
incurred the censure of the press, the pulpit and the public. In view of her 
past, present and future history, Kentucky owes it to her name and fame to 
stand out boldly and firmly upon the living issues of the day, with the deter- 
mination of once again becoming the foremost of all the Southern States. 
Nothing will so effectually accomplish this as the unity of her scholastic advan- 
tages. Those great religious leaders on both sides, and there are truly great and 
good ones on both sides, should discard at this time, at this distant day, from 
the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense, the pride of "the cold, formal- 
istic theology and ecclesiastical technicalities" which have obtained so long, for 
the nobler purpose of adjusting the educational facilities of the State to meet 
the demands of the multiplied thousand sons and daughters of this land. 
Think not that the intelligent children of Kentucky will not inquire why these 
divisions, why remaining so long after peace has come; why can't the Chris- 
tians, the soldiers of the cross, forgive and forget, as the old soldiers of both 
armies have done; why perpetuate the war in the churches and colleges, when 
but one fiag fioats in peace from the Capitol of our common country, over every 
church and school in the land, an ensign of love, unity, good will ? 

The child only looks at the present, unmindful of the future. The thought- 
ful man forgets the present in looking to the demands and responsibilities of 
the future. Great minds, moved by noble purposes, have the power of lifting 
the curtains of the future, gazing at the myriads of wonders asleep in the womb 
of time, and forming plans in harmony with those coming events. Smaller 
minds prefer to fight the battles over of the present and past. Emerson says 
a statesman is always twenty years ahead of the present and the masses, and is 
ever leading them up to the higher, broader plains of thought and action, as 
Moses led the bonded Jews from the enslavement of Egypt to the freedom of 
the promised land. 

Are there now such statesmen in theology, as well as politics, in both 
branches of the Presbyterian Churches in Kentucky who can, who will, lead 
those respective sides from the political fields of tainted prejudices, "a cistern 
for foul toads to knot and gender in, up to the bright i^lane of religious brother- 



IXATGURAL CEKEMOXIES. 35 

hood, where all can walk in the old paths and stand up in the ancient ways?" 
If so, this is the time to speak, to act, to 

" Throw off the shackles of usurped coutrol, 
And hew them link from link," 

teaching a united conntrj^ that there is a united church in Kentucky, which is 
the beginning of the end of a divided Church and a divided General Assembly 
in America. 

I have siioken, I hope, in the words of soberness and truth, to a people 
loved as I love none other, to whom I can say: "Thy people shall be my peo- 
ple, and thy God my God," for one purpose, and one purpose alone — the unity 
of the church and the unity of its schools. I have spoken as the 
resident of a distant and a great State, which is marching abreast of the 
times, in all great practical questions, a broad empire of thought, wealth 
and progress, thousands of whose sons and daughters have come from your own 
homes, all looking back to their old native State with the jDrayer trembling on 
every lip — God bless Kentucky! It is too great a State to be the battlefield of 
policies based upon individual ambitions. It should move beyond them as the 
giant does beyond the dwarf. My prediction is, if the present generation of 
churchmen, as well as citizens, does not settle these religious differences, born 
alone of the passions of the past, that an invading and post bellum born gener- 
ation, whose tread will be onward, having no thought of yesterday, but only of 
to-morrow, will sweep down on those airy bubbles glistening for a moment only 
in the sunshine of to-day, dissipating them as the sun in its coming does the 
fog of the morning, as a pestilent congregation of vapors. May it come at an 
early day, in tlie majesty of power, law, love and religious brotherhood, is the 
prayer of an old alumnus of Centre College.

Rev. ti. WL. KlEIvD, D. D. 



Mr. President : A toast is like a text, a good i^oint to start from, though 
no farther reference be made to it in what fohows. As for "The Press," it is 
so accustomed to speak for itself, and blows its own trumjDet so long and loud, 
that I think I may be excused from repeating its praises now. Instead of that, 
let me rather speak of what is before me, filling at once my eyes and my 
heart — dear Old Kentucky ! I have heard much of the Old Kentucky Home, 
and am beginning to feel how warm is the atmosphere under its roof; how 
brightly the fires burn upon the hearth. Happy indeed is the stranger within 
your gates ! Happy the guest who enters your ever-open doors, and receives 
your kindly welcome and shares your generous hosijitality. From my boyhood 
there has been a kind of romance about this State ; there was music in the very 
name. I used to hear it said that it was worth a journey to Washington to 
hear Henry Clay pronounce the word " Kentucky," which he uttered with a 
certain tenderness in his voice, as if he were speaking of his mother. We in 
the Eafet have heard of the famous " Hunters of Kentucky," and have always 
thought of this as peculiarly the region of " fair women and brave men." When 
Governor Buckner spoke of your women, I observed something in his manner 
which showed how his heart had been touched. Of the men he could not say 
so much. They were brave indeed, but perhaps a little too brave — brave to a 
fault, which made them more than willing to pitch into any little " unpleasant- 
ness " that might be going on, a share in which might give a pleasing variety to 
the dullness of common life. Hence the State had incurred the reputation of 
lawlessness. On this point I have no experience, and indeed who can dispute 
a Governor ? This I am quite willing to confess, that a Kentuckian is a man 
whom I had much rather have as a friend than as an enemy ! Perhaps he is a 
little too hasty in his quarrels, or, as you might say, a little "too quick on the 
trigger"; but a quick temper may go with a manly heart. It is often allied 
with courage and devotion ; and indeed I might almost say that it is these 
quick-tempered, high-spirited men, who would not bear injustice and wrong, 
who in one country or another — in America or England, in Scotland or Switzer- 
land — have fought all the battles and gained all the victories of liberty. 

And, sir, if the whole truth be told, I am afraid we must confess that we 
all — men of the East as well as of the West— belong to a fighting race. Whether 



IXAlXilTRAL CERKMOXIES. 37 

there be a law of natural selection in the vegetable and animal kingdoms, cer- 
tairtly in races of men there is a law of the survival of the fittest. It is not 
merely by accident that the Anglo-Saxon has marched to the front in so many 
quarters of tlie world. On the other side of the globe, I have seen a hundred 
thousand Englishmen asserting dominion over two hundred millions of Asiatics, 
carrying the Fiery Cross of England from the palm-groves of Ceylon to the 
snows of the Himalayas, and I have been proud to think that I belonged to 
that mighty, conquering race. 

Nor is this positive character, this strong self-assertion, held in check by 
religious faith. The Roundheads of Cromwell, saints as they were, were fight- 
ing men, who, though they did not put their trust v:hoIhj in an arm of flesh, 
thought it a convenient addition to spiritual forces, and obeyed the direction of 
their great leader, to "trust in God and keep their powder dry." And so it was 
M-ith the Fathers of New England. They came to this country, it is said, to 
find a place where they might have freedom to worship God. This is true ; but 
they were determined to ha.'e the place. When the Mayflower, after a stormy 
voyage of five months, dropped her anchor, and the first Pilgrims landed on 
Plymouth Rock, if the natives had met them with poisoned arrows, they would 
not have replied with the Catechism or with psalms. They did not believe that 
the Almightj^, who had made the earth for the habitation of men, had reserved 
a whole continent to tribes of wandering savages ; and so they planted their 
feet firmly on " the wild New England shore," as men who had come to stay. 
But they had to fight for existence ; they fought against the Winter's cold on 
the bleak, inhospitable coast — against the imminent danger of dying by famine. 
But when they had fixed their habitation, then indeed they lifted up their 
voices in praise to Him who had brought them safely across the mighty waters, 

and 

■• The sounding aisles of the dim woods rang 
Witli the anthem of the free." 

Yet even after that^-for years and generations — their history was a strug- 
gle and a combat. They were surrounded by enemies, and when they went to 
work in the fields, it was with the implements of agriculture in one hand and 
the weapons of war in the other. Now they fought against the Indians, as in 
old King's Philip's war; and now they fought against the devil, as he showed 
himself in witches, or in evil devices for corrupting religion and morals. By 
such exercise of their manly strength, they asserted themselves as the masters 
of the New World. All this was due to that intensity of courage and of will 
which the Bible calls "a fire in the bones," a spark of which is still in them. I 
do believe, if you were to dig up one of those old Puritans, who has been dead 
and buried for two hundred years, and take a piece of his fore-finger bone, and 
put it in one of your old flint-lock muskets, it would strike fire as quick as any 
flint ever used by the hunters of Kentucky. 

In those brave, stalwart men, I see the fore-runners of the early settlers of 
your own great Commonwealth. It is not doing yourselves justice to represent 
the latter as mere hunters, after the type of Daniel Boone. Huntsmen they 
were indeed, for on this they had often to depend for subsistence; but they

were much more. Very many of them were Scotch-Irish Preshyterians, de- 
scendants of the men M'ho fought at the Siege of Londonderry, and wefe as 
truly "God-fearing" as the Puritans of New England. If you would choose 
the true type of the " Pioneer of Kentucky," you must picture a man of giant 
stature, who strode over the mountains with the fear of God in his heart (he 
feared nothing btit God), and his rifle on his shoulder. And when he had built 
his log-cabin in the depths of the forest, or far up on the mountain side, the 
smoke that every morning curled up in the frosty air was but a type of the 
incense that went up as the man of iron frame bowed before the great fire-place, 
with his wife and little ones, and pra} ed for the protection of the God of Israel 
over his home in the wilderness. 

In the century that followed, Kentucky passed through strange vicissitudes 
of fortune — tiues of peace and of war, of prosperity and adversity. As a Bor- 
der State, it has been in the track of marching armies, and the theater of hard- 
fought battles. The people were divided, the line of division running, not only 
through counties and towns and cities, but through households. The most dis- 
tinguished families of Kentucky — the Clays and Crittendens and Breckinridges 
— were divided, brother fighting against brother, but they were brothers still; and 
when the cruel war was over, and the boys came marching home, they broke 
ranks as soon as they caught sight of their old home, and rushed into each 
other's arms. Ah, my brothers! love is stronger than death: many waters can- 
not quench it nor floods drown it. 

You, Sir, have alluded to some things that I have written of the South, in 
which you think I have spoken kindly and generously. I do confess to a very 
warm feeling towards her. I honor the courage of her sons in the day of bat- 
tle, and I feel deeply for all that war has brought upon her; and if any word of 
mine can soften the bitterness of the past, or lead those who have suffered so 
much to look more hopefully to the future, it shall not be wanting. 

Surely we maj^ indulge in some pleasant reflections as we contrast the pres- 
ent with the past. Here are those who took part in the war, and fought on op- 
posite sides ; and yet we are so mingled together that we cannot tell one from 
the other. I would not that any of you should forget your heroic dead, on 
whichever side they fought. Often as the year comes round, and brings with 
it Decoration Day, we go to the place where they sleep, and lay our ofl'eriugs on 
their graves. Never shall we forget them, nor cease to mourn their loss. But 
let us not think, because they are gone, everything is gone. Thank God, the 
COUNTRY remains! The same blue skies are over oUr heads, and the same solid 
earth under onr feet ; and it is our privilege, one and all, to labor for the same 
land oi our birth, hereafter "one and inseparable." 

I am proud to sit here to-day by the side of your noble Governor, the states- 
man and the soldier, whom you have learned to respect in war and in peace, 
and for whom we at the North have a very tender feeling as the friend of Gen, 
Grant. Fellow-students at West Point, companions in-arms in Mexico, they 
were pitted against each other in the late war, yet never lost their love for each 
other— a love which showed itself when, in his sick room, not long before his 
death. General Grant opened his heart to his old friend, expressing his earnest 



IXAL'GUKAL CEREMONIES. 1^9 

desire for restored friendsliip between the North aud the South, saying that he 
was willing to die if his death could contribute in any degree to that blessed 
consumiuiation. On the day that General Grant was borne to his grave, I saw- 
General Bucklier among the pall-bearers, riding in the same carriage with Gen- 
eral Sheridan ; while at their side, in another carriage, sat General Sherman and 
General Johnston ! It was a sight never to be forgotten, when men wept in 
sorrow and in joy — in sorrow for the great soldier that was borne to his grave, 
and in joy at the sight of such a spectacle of reconciliation. 

In this work of restoring the Union, institutions like this have a part. 
They are uniting influences. What a history was that which was detailed to 
us this forenoon ! You have told us how the germ of the College was in the 
first school ever opened in Kentucky — indeed before Kentucky was a State — in 
1785, under a charter granted by the Legislature of Virginia. It was founded 
by a Presbyterian minister — one of those sturdy preachers of the Gospel who 
were pioneers of all that was good in education as well as in religion. Like all 
the colleges of the East, it was the child of poverty ; born in struggles ; begun 
in faith and prayer ; but what a work it has done in its life of a hundred years ! 
The period of its greatest influence was during the Presidency of Dr. Young, of 
blessed memory', who stamped his image and superscription upon the bright, 
intelligent minds and faces of hundreds of young men, who went forth from its 
halls to become Governors, Senators, Judges, and to adorn every profession and 
walk of life. 

During the last half of the existence of this College, it has fallen on troub- 
lous times. It was broken up by the war, the young men, with the ardor of 
Kentuckians, rushing to the field. After the war there came a long period of 
strife and litigation. It was dragged into the courts, and its jDossession was the 
object of contest. At last its proprietorship was determined as it now is, and 
it began a period of resurrection. But exhausted life comes back slowly, and it 
was years before it had a name to live. Still there were those who loved it. 
Faithful teachers clung to it, and if the classes were small, yet they were dilli- 
gently taught, and went forth well equipped for service. In the course of time, 
as the venerated preceptor, who in the interval had laresided over it, felt com- 
pelled to retire under the weight of years, it chose a President who bore a name 
associated with the most glorious period in its history — that of Dr. W. 0. Young, 
under whom it now begins a new career; and the question we are asking to-day 
is, " WJiat sJiall its future be .^" 

To the success of a great institution, the first necessity is a max, who shall 
be its inspiring soul. Agassiz desired the word " Teacher " to be engraved upon 
his tomb, as designating the character of which he was most proud, and indi- 
cating his title to the grateful remembrance of future generations. 

A man is more important than buildings. Some rich men conceive the 
idea of founding a College, to be a monument of their wisdom and liberality. 
It is a noble ambition. The mistake they make is to think that money can 
buy everything. But a College is not made by splendid architecture. General 
Garfield said : "I had rather study in a log-cabin, sitting at one end of a school 
bench, if Marl- Ilopkhnf iras at the otiiee, than to have the luxuries and appoint- 



40

ments of the most richly-endowed university, without that inspiration." The 
first thing, therefore, is to get your man, and I think you have found him in one 
who is not only the heir of an illustrious name— the son of his father — but the 
inheritor of his great abilities. 

This secured, the next point is to have all needed appliances for study. It 
takes money, and a great deal of it, to erect buildings, and furnish libraries and 
laboratories for the study of natural science, and to endow an institution that 
can hold any position alongside of the great colleges and universities of the day. 

Where is it to come from ? There is money enough in the country ; enor- 
mous wealth, but unhappily the great fortunes are in the hands oi men who 
are absorbed in schemes of speculation, and who will not take time to think of 
the wants of future generations. But here and there is a man who has a for- 
tune, and who has alfco the rare gift of a soul. He does not think only of his 
own selfish interests. If he has been a poor boy, he thinks of other poor boys, 
and wishes that they may have opportunities that were denied to him. To 
found a school of technology, of engineering^ or for education in the mechanic 
arts, is a way of helping others that appeals to his generous nature, and he takes 
more delight in doing good than in hoarding millions for heirs to tight over or 
to squander. 

We look about for these men of fortune who have not lost every spark of 
maiihood. A few years since there was a great discovery on the other side of 
the mountains— of oil-wells that sent up from the very bowels of the earth that 
which furnished the material for lighting the houses and streets and cities, not 
of America only, but of the whole world. It has brought to its possessors 
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. What a grand thing it would be if it 
should occur to some one among them — a prince in fortune and a prince in 
soul — to lay a " pipe-hne" across the mountains, so that literally " rivers of oil " 
should flow over the Blue-grass region of Kentucky ! 

The Alma Mater around which we gather to-day is not an experiment, like 
the new colleges which are started in so many places West and South, whose 
success is yet to be proved. It is already a Century Plant. It has lived a hun- 
dred years, and yet it has not grown old, nor shown any signs of weakness or 
decay. On the contrary, it has just renewed its youth, as it enters on its second 
century. Such a College has a life of its own, which is far more enduring than, 
ours. Men die, but institutions live. Your honored father has gone to the 
grave, and you will follow him, but the College which you have loved will live 
when you are laid in the dust. What it has done in the past, it will do in the 
future, only on a broader scale, and with a longer duration. As it has already 
educated three generations, so it may educate three, or thirty, generations to 
come! 

It has great advantages in its geographical position. Situated west of the 
mountains, it does not come into rivalship with the older institutions of the 
East. In the early days it was such a nucleus of the new settlements that it 
was called Centre College. This beautiful town was a sort of Jerusalem to 
which the tribes came up. Now the theater of its influence has broadened to 
the West. New Territories have been opened. But Kentucky is still one of 



IXAUGURAI. CEREMOXIKS. 41 

the central States of the Union, and is especially favored in that it lies at the 
liead ef those rivers, which, running westward and southward, make the Great 
Valley. Across it flow the Cumberland and the Tennessee, to add their volume 
to the Ohio, which in its turn empties into the Mississippi. These mighty- 
rivers are not merely highways of commerce, but of civilization. Cast your 
bread upon the waters, and you shall find it after many days. Scatter the seeds 
of knowledge, and the waters shall bear them, and the very winds shall waft 
them, out of your sight, to spring up and bear fruit beyond the Western horizon. 
Five hundred years ago there died in England a man who had given to bis 
country the priceless possession of the English Bible, and who had fought 
against the superstitions of Rome with such boldness that he was called the 
Reformer before the Reformation, for he died a hundred years before Luther 
was born. Forty years after he was in his grave, his body was dug up by order 
of the Pope and burned, and the ashes thrown into the river Avon. But this, 
impotent rage only gave new courage to his followers, who saw in this scatter- 
ing of his dust to the winds and waves, that would sweep it far away, a token 
of the wider dissemination of the faith which he taught ; and " some prophet 
of that day said" — so spake Daniel Webster on a memorable occasion, when he 
quoted these lines, which, uttered in his deep voice, produced a thrilling 

effect— * 

■■ The Avon to the Severn runs; 
The Severn to the sea ; 
And Wickliffe's dust shall spread abroad, 
Wide as the waters be." 

May I not use the same figure to illustrate the influence, ever flowing and. 
ever widening, of an institution like this, and say. 

The Ohio to the Mississippi runs : 

The Mississippi to the sea ; 
And Old Ketucky's blood — 

[running with a swift current in the veins of her sons and daughtei'S, and. 
through her halls of learning and religion] 

— shall spread abroad. 
Wide as the waters be.

OF 

Rev. S. A. IVLUTCHIVIORE, D. D. 



Mr. Presidext, Ladies and Gentlemen : In response to this toast I find 
onyself in the quandary of the boy visiting a playmate, whose mother not only 
■gave him a pancake, but deluged it with molasses, at the sight of which he be- 
gan to cry, and when asked the cause of his grief he said, " There's so much 
•sweetening I don't know what end to begin." There has been so much sweet- 
ening poured over Centre College and the citizens of Danville by the orators of 
the occasion that I do not know where to begin. It is a great joy to see you, 
Mr. President, in the place so noble in treasures of the past, so full of possibilities 
for the future, the fulfillment of the hopes of your beloved father, with the con- 
fidence and enthusiasm of the Alumni, the singular accord of the Synod and 
the Board of Trustees, and the great pleasure of these citizens in whose midst 
you were born and reared. I may say that you have come to the kingdom for 
such a time as this. You will remember that I told you years ago, that it was 
your destiny and duty, and claim not to be a prophet from foresight, but from 
common sense in regard to the duties and events of the day. I have a pro- 
found belief in the transmission of noble qualities through the lines of breeding. 
You belong to an honorable line on all sides, and let it not be forgotton that 
your paternal ancestors and mine were of the same blood, who came across 
from Londonderry in their own ship and landed on the Delaware. And I would 
have my brother. Dr. Field, understand that the Puritans did not all land in 
New England, but some on the Delaware, in Maryland, in North and South 
Carolina were, too, men of the heroic grit and " ossified fire" of which he has 
spoken. But while a man may be braced by noble ancestors, he must be able 
to fight the battles of life for himself and by himself. In the days of staging 
over the Eocky Mountains, a young man was riding alone in a coach, while the 
driver, according to the habit of those days, was driving his horses down the 
mountain side at full speed, fire flying from their hoofs and rings of fire from 
the wheels. The young man kept crying, " Driver, stop ! stop ! " but, his fears 
only provoking mirth in the reckless Jehu, he cried in desperation, " Driver, 
you don't know who I am." "Well, young man, who be you?" "I'm the 
grandson of John Quincy Adams." " Well, yoxmg man, we don't go much on 
■daddyism out here." This is not an age that goes much on " daddyism;" in it a 
man must stand on his own "pins." The glory of Centre College has always 
been that she taught men to stand on their own legs, to think for themselves, 
^nd to have the courage of their own convictions. 



INAUGURAL CKREMOXIKS. 43 

You have appointed to nie the sul)ject of the xiinistry, its relations to the 
College and community. 

There is not a spot on earth so well suited to the develoisment of the highest 
type of the Christian ministry as this in which Centre College is located. Com- 
munity has made the College and the College has made community. Ministerial 
ideas have dominated for half a century. Throughout the State its lawyers are half- 
preachers; all the professions carry the ministerial image, are modified by its 
ideal and more or less conti'olled by its ethics. In order to present the relation of 
Centre College to the ministry, I must refer to the moulding influences of the 
College and the citizens upon myself as an example only of what it did for the 
rest. Whatever ministerial success has come to me was through the inspira- 
tion of the great men who held the places of teachers and preachers in the Col- 
lege and Seminary. The presence of Dr. Young had the effect over young men 
of that matchless piece of statuary, the Apollo Belvidere, which no man can see 
without stretching up toward the measure and beauty of the grand ideal. As 
a teacher, he was a philosopher, his abilities in the department of psychology 
and ethics were masterful ; he surveyed the whole field, but was more than a 
surveyor, more than a definer of boundaries in the regions of thought ; he was 
able to set all parts and products of the mind in their true relations. He com- 
bined what is rarely seen — great intellectual faculties with beauty, and symmet- 
ry of person. He was genial as the sunshine, and attracted young life to be 
clothed with his own powers. As a minister of the Gospel, in his own person- 
ality, he was without a peer and beyond comparison. No man will ever forget 
who heard those wonderful sermons of his, clothed in the royal dress of his lan- 
guage and inspired by the Holy Ghost, when that unearthly paleness suffused 
his countenance as he went feeling after the hearts of men, both drawing and 
compelling their surrender to Christ. At this time there was a remarkable 
galaxy of preachers, with hardly a trace of likeness in style or spirit. Dr. 
Breckinridge was in the vigor of his magnificent powers, resistless and persua- 
sive, whose intellectual image is stamped on all that he wrote or spoke. The 
j'oung ministry of that time were influenced, too, by Dr. Edward P. Humphrey, 
a preacher and teacher in his own peculiar personalty, not only imparting truth, 
but suggesting it to the inquiring mind. Elegant in diction, his sentences were 
like well set jewels, analytical and logical. As a man, his image will never fade 
fj-om memory, his inspirations never depart from the men and minds of his time. 
Nor would it l^e possible to give an idea of the moulding power of the College 
and Seminary upon the ministry of the time, without reference to that other 
•wonderful preacher. Dr. Stuart Robinson, sui generis, the greatest expositor of 
his age, whose sermons can never fade in power or brilliancy, in terror or 
pleadings of love on any w'ho ever heard them. Such sermons as those on 
"Dives and Lazarus," " Lord, to Whom Shall We Go?" " The Prodigal Son" and 
" The Spirit and the Bride Say Come," are as vivid in memory as if their echoes 
were ringing through this hour. Nor was the influence of Prof. Scott less upon 
the students who heard him as pastor, or were instructed as their professor. 
That piercing eagle eye, that intense earnestness, glowing like the light from in- 
terior fires, still live in whatever soul-saving power has been bulked in the

ministry sent out from Centre College and Danville Theological Seminaiy. 
Everything and everybody about this place seemed pitched to the highest ideal 
of ministerial life. Even the slaves of the time lent their aid. I have always 
had a warm side for them, because they heard me preach when nobody else 
would, and had even the temerity to say that it was good preaching, when I 
could not look them in the face without blushing. The people appreciated the 
ministry, went to hear good or bad, and inspired them by their presence and 
kind words. Only one of the group of those great personages is before me to- 
day, the man who conducted the College safely over the chasm opened by pa- 
ternal strife, and has laid it down a precious treasure into your hands all safe, to 
begin, as we hope, a larger circle and a brighter disk than ever before, the ven- 
erable retiring President, Dr. Beatty, who did me the honor this day to say, . 
" He is one of my boys." Mr. President, I heard you say, this morning, that 
Centre College was to be distinguished henceforth by inspiring and tutoring 
young men into sacred eloquence, for eloquence is perishfng from the face of the 
earth. The newspapers are its foes, the judges of the court are its foes, so that 
now no man in the courts dares to be eloquent without rebuke, and it is only left 
for the ministry to keep the divine fire burning. Here you have a work all 
your own and here triumphs and trophies which will make our Alma Mater 
immortal.

I do not know that the pubhc men of Centre College are in any marked 
respect different from other public men. " In the world's broad field of battle," 
her Alumni have borne their full part in the conflict. They have taken with 
them away from these halls a full measure of generous enthusiasm and honor- 
able ambition. Entering upon that " race where emulation hath her thousand 
sons who one by one pursue," they have not suffered themselves to become 
'• pavement for the abject rear." I believe there is no ofRce within the gift of 
the people of this State which has not been bestowed on a graduate of this Col- 
lege. The same is true of Federal office, with the single exception of the 
Presidency of the United States. And there have been, and are now, and will 
hereafter be, Alnmni who would accept that place. In the Senate of the United 
States and in the House of Representatives and on the Supreme Bench our 
Alma Mater has just reason for pride in the influence and achievements of her 
honored sons. I will not in this matter attempt to be personal or statistical. 
And if by public men is meant those who have given their lives to the service 
of mankind, to its elevation, to its ennoblement, to the consolation of its unfor- 
tunate, to the peace of its troubled, to the lifting up of its fallen, then indeed 
would time fail to tell of those who, going from these halls, have served and are 
now serving their generation. 

But to my mind this is rather a season for looking forward than backward ; 
for taking resolution for the future than for congratulation over the past. 

Time hatli, my Lord, a wallet at his back, 
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion ; 
A great-sized monster of ingratitude, 
Those scraps are good deeds pa.st. 

I know that it is not possible for us who are gathered here not to look back. 
But the lesson we should learn is one of inspiration. What ties are so strong 
as the cords of memory that stretch from our hearts to the graves of our dead? 
Let us ask ourselves a moment what this means. In giving us some account of 
what manner of man he was, Marcus Antoninus sets down in the very begin- 
ning what were his obligations to those who went before him. He tells us that 
from his grandfather he learned good morals; from his father, modesty and 
manliness ; from his mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence not only 



46 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 

from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts. What a noble pride of ancestry- 
is this. And then of his obligations to his teachers; how from one he learned 
to endure freedom of speech ; from another, discipline of temper; from another, 
steadiness of purpose ; from another, to refrain from fault-finding ; from another, 
to love truth and justice. Here was a man who knew and could not fail to 
know that his name would endure through the ages. He was determined that 
those who had knowledge of him should, upon the very threshold of that 
knowledge, understand how very much of what he was came from those who 
had gone before him. Is this not true of all of us? When we open the ledger 
of our lives, what are we first to write upon it? On its debic side we are bound 
to set down our obligations; what has come to us from parents and teachers 
and friends; what capital they have contributed to the business of our lives. 
It is for us, then, to create the credits which shall balance these debits ; to write 
upon this other page that we have handed down to posteritj'^ this, and this, and 
this which we received ; that to balance what was supplied to us, we have fur- 
nished the next generation with a corresponding benefit. This, then, is the 
pressing business of to-day. We know what we received here, or might have 
received here — what of sound learning, of high impulse, of noble aim, of gen- 
erous and patriotic instinct. Is the next generation to receive less or more ? It 
is for us to answer this question not in words but in deeds. The important 
thing is, that we catch the contagion of the time. 

There belongs to some of us more, to others less, ability. But if each will 
in his several strength do but a tithe of what he can there will be continued 
and broadened and strengthened here an institution of learning, " so famous, 
so excellent in art and still so rising, that Christendom shall ever speak its 
virtue."

The text assigned to me is axiomatic, and if I wander from it the occasioii 
is my apology. Shadows of the past rise and beckon me. More than three 
decades have passed since I stood within the walls of Centre College as a stu- 
dent. The memories of those days of my boyhood gather around me. Then 
the life before me seemed an unread poem, and delusive hope promised that, as- 
I turned the pages, they should be illuminated with only pleasant pictures, and 
all things be made possible to ambition. 

The inspiration of the spot brings back to me with vividness the faces of 
my college comrades and my teachers. Supreme in the group are the benig- 
nant features of him who was then the President of this institution. Time has 
<leepened my conviction that he was the incarnation of the loftiest virtues of 
Christian manhood. 

He was learned, eloquent, wise, modest and gentle, loyal always to duty 
and to truth, idolized by his puj^ils and honored and admired by all who knew 
him. His jeweled character was an exalted model by which the young could 
fashion their lives. " Clarum et venerabile nomen.'" 

Influences of the work of this remarkable man are potent to-day in the 
Church and State. The spell of his thoughts has been carried into thousands 
of homes, there to abide and promote the honor and happiness of the house- 
hold. His magical words w'ere sown in the hearts of his pupils, there to be 
cherished and to blossom and ripen, in the long aftertime, into deeds of charity, 
courage and duty. 

Such an educator broadened the thoughts of men and lifted up their moral 
natures and aspirations. 

If, in our country, there could now be added to the noble army of teachers 
a thousand veterans like him, their life work would win a higher renown for 
our land in the peaceful conquests of intellectual, moral and material progress 
than was achieved by the hosts of Alexander or the legions of Csesar. 

The world is governed too much. A statute unsustained by public senti- 
ment is worse than useless. Educate the public mind, and the people, with 
intelligence to know what is right and best, moved by their moral sense, will do 
their duty. We should have fewer laws and a wider education. 

The preservation of constitutional liberty in our' Republic depends upon

popular intelligence. A knowledge of the value of a right secures its vigilant 
protection. 

We have no Parthenon, but we have steam power. We have no statuary 
to match the marvels of Phidias, but we have given life and voice to the dumb 
wire, and made it whisper and flash our thoughts around the world. We have 
no Zeuxis, whose pictures of fruit deceived even the birds, but possess some- 
thing more wonderful and useful in the art of photography. The restless and 
daring genius of our men of science has wrung fiom the dark realms of nature 
many of her most valuable secrets and applied them to the use and enjoyment 
of mankind. 

The men who framed our National Constitution 

" Builded better than they knew." 

Under the beneficent principles of our Government we have made unex- 
ampled progress, and to-day lead the civilization of the world. The nations of 
earth are interested spectators of our stately march. We have the same law 
for the castle, the cloister, and the cottage, and are free, prosperous and happy 
The education of the people is the surest guarantj^ of the perpetuity of our 
blessings, and in this noble work may the future of this College even excel tha 
past.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 5, 1889. 

Eev. W. C. Young — Bear Sir : I regret sincerely that my duties here com- 
pel me to forego the pleasure of being present at your inauguration as President 
of Centre College. It was my earnest wish to have been with you and other 
friends of dear old Centre on that interesting occasion. 

I recall, with perfect distinctness, the period when, as a boy, I sat under 
the teachings of your distinguished father and his coadjutors. Professors Beatty, 
Scott and Schaeffer — a corps of Professors that would have done honor to the 
foremost university in this country. 

The Institution over which they presided was, indeed, a power for good, 
not only in Kentucky, but throughout the West and South. And I rejoice that 
it is still under such control as entitles it to claim the confidence of parents 
seeking to have their sons thoroughly trained in all that is essential to make 
sound scholars and worthy citizens. 

Congratulating the friends of the College on its promise of great usefulness 
under the Presidency of a son of John C. Young, 

I am your friend, 

JOHN M. HAELAN. 



Washington, D. C, Oct. 7, 1889. 
Rcr. Dr. William C. Young, President, etc., Danville, Ky. : 

My Dkau Sir — I sincerely regret that I find it impossible to leave Wash- 
ington to-night, and that therefore I must forego the pleasure of being present 
at your inauguration on WednesdaJ^ My wife and I made our arrangements to 
be present, and she joins with me in the expression of regret that her sickness 
ill part keeps us away. 

My affection for your father, and my admiration for his great and lovely 
qualities — which constantly increases as I compare him with other men — my 
friendship for you, beginning when you were a little boy and I a young college 
student, and which has known no change during the intervening years, my 
interest in the College over whose destinies you are called to preside, and my 



50 INAUGURAL C'EKEMONXE.S. 

desire to meet collegemates whom I have not seen for years, made me anxious 
to he present. 

No one can foretell when the two great branches of the Presbyterian Church 
will come together in organic union, n or what effect such union would have on 
the educational interests in Kentucky under the auspices oi her two Synods, 
but my own judgment is, that there is plenty of room in Kentucky for all the 
educational institutions which are now established, and that each is interested 
in the growth, development, and prosperity of every other one. 

Kentucky must have over two millions of people, and is developing in 
wealth and growing in population more rapidly than is generally believed. We 
have about recovered from the pecuniary losses occasioned by the war and its 
results, and our growth will be greatly accelerated as our surplus income is 
invested in wealth-producing enterprises. The endowment of our educational 
institutions is not keeping pace with the growth of our population nor the 
increase of our Avealth. Such colleges as Centre, Central University at Eich- 
mond, the two at Lexington, and that at Georgetown are of incalculable impor- 
tance to the State and to its future. We do not now need a large university 
where unusual advantages for specii^l vocations are afforded, but we do need 
the proper maintenance of institutions at which our sons can be trained for the 
work v^^hich the State of Kentucky and those States south and west of lier 
require ; institutions at which such training can be obtained at a comparatively 
inexpensive outlay ; where the students come into daily contact with the PrO' 
fessors, and where the graduates are prepared to enter either at once into active 
business life or upon professional preparation. 

Your inauguration gives to Centre Cellege new interest and greater hopes ; 
your own personal popularity, your striking pulpit gifts, your identification 
with so many Kentucky families, recall to the people of the State what Centre 
College has done for Kentucky, and Avhat it can be made capable of doing. 

I sincerely trust that you will find abundant success in your labors, and I 
have not the slightest doubt that under yoiir administration the prestige of the 
College will be greatly increased. 

Your friend, 

W. C. P. BEECKINEIDGE. 



New York, Oct. 6, 1889. 
Rev. W. C. Young, D. D., President Centre College, Danville, Ky. : 

Dear Doctor — You ask me to send you a word about "The Press," which 
may take my place at the interesting proceedings of your inauguration, which 
I so greatly regret my inability to attend in person. 

It is probably very fortunate for you that you will accept this substitute in 
my place, for I am. inclined to fear that could I be with you, I would have my 
mind and heart filled with so many admirable and splendid topics suggested by 
the historic incidents wdiich Centre College would bring to mind, and the array 



iNArGURAl; CKRKMONtE«, 81 

nf hrilliniit and distinguished guests wiiom you will assemble, I might be forced 
to inflict upon you a whole issue of a blanket edition of a newspaper, whereas; 
because I am absent, I am able to confine myself to one subdivision of the gen- 
eral Press, and that is that which relates to colleges. 

Intercourse between learned institutions formerly was ver}' slow and expen- 
sive, and only by the means of the I'rofessors themselves traveling in most 
unusual and lonesome journeys from one seat of college life to another. But 
now it is comparatively easy, cheaji and simj^le for all the institutions of learn- 
ing in this country to hold communication with each other by means of the 
modern public press, without a journey, without delay, and far more effectively 
than before the public press was made such an organ of Intercommunication. 
The same state of things also exists in respect to the institutions of learning of 
other countries, as well as our own, and by means of the press in our country 
we know a great deal about the celebrated. Universities of Cairo, Pekin, Con- 
stantinople, Vienna, Bologna, Berlin, Paris, London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, 
Oxford, Cambridge, Ptio de Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, Valparaiso, Lima, Mexico, 
Quebec, and Toronto, and much more about these and other universities, col. 
leges, seminaries, academies, and schools tlian woxild be possible without the 
ubiquitous and all-circulating public press. 

The colleges of the country are as much indebted to the public for their 
life and energy and power in the world as are the political parties of the coun- 
try, and to snufF out the public press would be to bury the light of these insti- 
tutions in a bushel. 

Allow me to ask, is it not about time that the colleges of the country began 
to repay to the press something of the debt of obligation which the colleges owe 
to the press ? And the way for the colleges to do this is to send a greater and 
greater proportion of educated men into the walks of journalism. Now, it is a 
sad fact that only about ten per cent, of the people conducting the journals of 
the country are college bred men, and yet it would seem that journalism would 
require a thorough knowledge of the arts, and such a knowledge as can only be 
obtained by a regular scholastic training. The sad fact, however, is that educa- 
tion or training of any kind is not considered to be at all necessary to qualify a 
person to enter into the manufacture of public opinion, or the training of the 
morals, habits, views or lives of the dear people of these United States. This 
state of things seems to constitute a strange anomaly, and it ought to be short- 
lived. AVill you, thetefore, kindly allow me to propose a sentiment, 

THE PRESS. 

May the Colleges of the United States hereafter strive to send into it their graduates 
of the greatest intellectual capacity, the highest seJiolarly attainments, and the most vig- 
orous imaginative poivers. 

I have the honor to be, my dear Doctor Young, most truly your obedient 
servant, 

ELLIOTT F. SHEPARD. 



5^ ' INAUGURAL CBbEMONiES. 

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7, 1SS9. 
Rev. W. C. Young, P. t)., Danville, Ky. : 

My Deae Sir — Many with whom the love of college and class is not yet ex- 
tinguished would be with you on the 9th but for circumstances preventing their 
attendance. To be numbered among these is a great disappointment to me. I 
am certain that every one who had the privilege of being a student at Centre 
College would gladly be present on the occasion of your inauguration as its 
President, believing that it will assure " an era of enlarged prosperity and use- 
fulness." 

May the light kindled by your father guide your way. Continue, enlarge, 
improve, extend, surpass, if you can, his noble efforts to purify the taste and 
ennoble the pursuits of study-loving young men ; to arm them with the weap- 
ons, offensive and defensive, which experience has proved to be available in the 
battle of public or private life. The work of a college is to ripen useful talents 
into firm grasp and wide vision. Its true glory is the difli'usion of that spirit of 
high reverence for gift, and power, and capacity, which makes men scorn to use 
them basely or unfairly ; which makes men of public spirit, men of refinement, 
with that " good taste which is the conscience of the mind, and that conscience 
which is the good taste of the soul." Mere knowledge of itself, and by itself, is 
Hot power ; its spirit is the real and the best part of the man. 

The Alumni of Old Centre should keep fresh in recollection its claims 
hpon their reverential love, and be ever ready to bring to her service the blend- 
ed light of their mutual experience, and the collected strength of their united 
influence. Yours very sincerely, 

BOYD WINCHESTER. 



Richmond, Ky., Oct. 8, 1889. 
Dr. W. C. Young: 

My Dear Friend — I intended to be present to-morrow at your installation 
as President of Centre College, but an important engagement, which cannot be 
postponed, compels me, at this late hour, to deny myself that pleasure. 

The years that have passed since I was a student at Centre College have 
not diminished my respect, or decreased my love, for my Alma Mater. I have 
watched with deep interest the progress and advancement, the increase of its 
endowment fund, the erection of a new College building and a new library 
building, and I am proud to know that the Alumni of Centre College now num- 
ber over one thousand, located in nearly every State in our Republic, and many 
of them prominent as ministers and business men, and others distinguished in 
politics, in law, in literature, and in science. 

It will always give me pleasure to remember that I was instructed by your 
able and eloquent father, Dr. John C. Young, and that I had before me his good 
example, his modest deportment, and his splendid Christian virtues— though 



INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 63 

dead, he still lives in his works, in his teachings, and in the impress he made 
as a pastor and as President of Centre College. " God buries the workman, but 
carries on his work,'' and it is fit and jiroper that the mantle of your father 
should fall on your shoulders. That you will wear it faithfully, honorably, and 
ably, all your brother students, and all who know you, are well satisfied. With 
you as President, the College will grow in prosperity and popularity, and I hope 
you may, after a while, have forty-seven graduates in one year, as we bad in 
1857, when I had the honor to graduate. 

Assuring you that my best wishes will be with you all the time, and earn- 
estly hoping that Providence will bless you and your associates, I am, 
Ttesjjectfully, your friend, 

JAMES B. McCREARY. 



BlEMINGHAM, A LA., OcT. 23, 1 8S9. 

liev. William C. Young, D. D., President of Centre College: 

Rev. and Dear Sir — It was my good fortune to be present at your inaugu- 
ration as President of " Old Centre," on the 9th inst., and, since then, I have 
thought so much about my Alma Mater, her proud past, her cheering present^ 
and her promising future — that it has occurred to me to examine myself, and to 
find out why I feel so great pride and affection for and in the old College ! 

From the day when I was graduated, on the 11th of September, 1856, up to 
the present hour, I have been the loyal son of Centre College. The changes 
and vicissitudes she has known have but served to forge stronger links in the 
chain of my affection for her. 

In my eighteenth year I was taken to Danville and entrusted to the care 
and guidance of your distinguished father. With a father's tenderness, he 
curbed my restles nature, and made me a well-behaved student, in spite of my. 
self! In the good work of developing a new nature in me, he could point to 
such men, his colleagues, as the wise and discreet ])r. Ormond Beatty, whose 
purity and goodness are known of all men ; to Dr. Alfred Ryors, whose impul- 
sive, impetuous nature was always zealous of good works ; to Rev. James Mat- 
thews, whose fidelity in the discharge of his duties made the students dislike 
what the maturer man must respect and admire ; and to Rev. Jacob Cooper, 
who was just beginning a career, .then, of so much promise, and, now, of such 
great eminence and distinction ! It was in an atmosphere filled with such in- 
fluences that I learned to love "Old Centre," and in after years, when I thought 
of my college days, I seemed to catch intimations of the immortality of such men 
from the recollections of their noble work and self-sacrifice. 

My lines in life have been cast far away from Danville, but I have kept ever 
in mind the College, and our mute pledges to be true to her name and inspira- 



M INAUGttflAL CEREMONIES, 

tion. When I heard you trace her history, I could not be surprised at what she 
had done, and at the way in Avhich it had been done ; it was effect following 
cause, so naturally and simply ! If the Christian character needs affliction for 
development, if the grain of wheat must die before it is quickened, why need 
we feel surprise at the sore trials '"Old Centre" has known? You sit in the 
seat of your great father, in the house where you were born, and surrounded 
by all the hallowed memories and incidents of his life and of yours. The man- 
tle of a noble, true man is upon you, and yon are sustained by good and true, 
learned and sagacious coadjutors, and I, with a host of other friends, now feel 
that all is well. 

It was told me by Judge John A. Nooe that at the conclusion of his junior 
year in 1831, when Eev. Dr. Blackburn had been displaced and Dr. John C. 
Young elected in his stead, that " Old Centre " then numbered but thirty-three 
students, all of whotn indignantly withdrew from the College, seeking further 
scholastic instruction elsewhere. Dr. Young took the chair surrounded by a 
mere handful whom he brought to Danville with him. Tlie prospect seemed 
gloomy, and friends feared for the worst. But "man's extremity was God's 
opportunity," and the Master's valiant servant soon filled the College halls with 
ingenious youth, and gave to our common country some of her brightest edu- 
cated men, and men who have won renown as lawyers, jurists, aiid statesmen. 
Truly did he erect for himself a monument as enduring as the affections and 
memory of mian ! 

Your opportunities, reverend and dear sir, are great, but you have the trust 
and confidence of all your brethren of the Alumni. 

Heaven grant you a long and distinguished career of usefulness; 
Your friend, truly, 

JOFIN MASON MARTIN, 
Class of 1856. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 7, 1889. 

Deae Doctor Young: I thank you for your kind letter in regard to our 
golden wedding and your invitation to be at your inauguration the next day. 
Neither you nor I can well be present on both occasions. I feel a profound 
interest in Centre College and in your Presidency, as I did in your father's. 
The longer I live the more I am impressed with the importance of educational 
institutions. The history, location and claims of your College should secure the 
confidence, co-operation and material support of all good Presbyterians of all 
sections, and especiallj'' of persons of large means, who desire to make good 
investments of their Lord's money. Donations to missions is bread, to educa- 
tion, seed corn. If Christians would trust their pastors in regard to these 
benefactions, as they do in other things, educational endowments could be 
secured as fully and freely as were the means and materials for the building the 
tabei'nacle of the congregation in the wilderness. I am making investigation 



INAUGUBxVL CEREiMONIE,S. 55 

as to the gifts of ministers to educational foundations, and I find, as I expected, 
from my own observation, that by far their largest gifts are in this direction. 
Our laymen, our elect leaders, especially those that are wealthy, would do the 
same if they only knew, as oui* ministers do, their relative importance. 

The signs of the times show a constant growth in this line. I trust Cen- 
tre College may find many such wise and liberal friends. I could name a dozen 
persons of high Christian character and reputation in our Church, any one of 
whom could fully endow your College, and be the richer for it — richer in heart 
and richer towards God — and such persons are fast coming to the front. 

Railroads have made Centre College the accessible center of a great section, 
where there is more need of help and more hope of good fruits than can be said 
of most colleges. Fraternally, 

J. G. MONFORT.
